No there is no full ETA. Currently the main Developer is working on a very large project with OD+ update as well. There is also a debate going on into what will be going into 1.9whatever and 2.0.

I am very sorry to tell you that it's still ASAP.

Well through Plus we will put out the beta on Stardock Central. If you check SDC you will get it the moment it launches. Sorry I can't be more specific at this time.

My apologies for the wait. While we don't like making people wait we are working on many, many new projects. I can say, for one, things are going at a feavor pitch around here. Please be aware that ODP is not even slightly forgotten in all of these updates and new releases.

Guys, please take it seriously. My SD Central is telling me that last time my OD+ was updated on 5th of October 2007 (version 1.90i[b].020). That's almost FIVE(!) months ago. There is not a piece of software on my machine that hasn't been updated in that period of time apart from OD. That's really bad. And we are talking about a beta, not a stable release. The current beta version of OD has many bugs that need fixing (that's why it's called a beta) but the clock keeps ticking but all we are getting is "yes, it's being worked on" or "we apologize for the wait" or something like that. Yes, you might be hard at work and fixing them but we don't see the results and that's equivalent to people perceiving that nothing is actually happening. It seems to be all talk and no walk, so to speak. I'm not trying to tell you how to do your job but is it not better to offer incremental updates and continuously receive feedback about improvements and incorporate them accordingly?

Please don't make me start a Facebook group about this or something. I've had great experiences with Stardock products so far but this "standstill" is really increasing the size of a purple patch. Please provide us with more information so people know what's going on!

Thank you very much in advance

Clearly you didn't see the build number of OD+ that I've mentioned. See that "[b]" bit? It means beta. I was so happy with the product that it occurred to me "Why not be a beta tester to make it even better?". That's something positive, won't you say? I'm never hypocritical. I always say how I feel. Fact is that forums are places where people can express their views about products and negotiate with people about problems they might be having. What also makes us different is that I did pay for my OD+. Betas are meant to have possible bugs, but they are also meant to be sorted out.

Sure, I get it. But is it not better to do incremental improvements where they fix something, release a new beta for people to see if they did it right and while people are testing they can work on fixing something else, then release another beta update with fix(es)? It's a continuous process where both parties work simultaneously towards improving the product.

They may have hotter fires that are burning, but if those fires have nothing to do with OD(+) then I don't see how its development should be affected.

I'm not talking about the "rush factor". I never advocate rushing things but I am in favour of updating things at regular intervals. While OD may not be broken, it doesn't mean there are no problems with it (especially the beta).

You haven't stated which build of OD you are using so for all I know it could be a stable release, hence lack of problems. The problem is that initially I was informed that a beta update was going to be released in January but that never came and now it's March. Last beta update was almost 6 months ago, a period of time for which a major release is more appropriate.

The worst-case scenario would be for Stardock to come out with a 2.0 major release without issuing any more betas for current OD+ subscribers and asking to people to pay to upgrade to see if the problems they were having have been fixed or not. I hope it won't happen.

I run the most recent Beta. It works well for my needs. Typically when SD takes a extra bit of time get the newest release or beta out, it's usually for a good reason.  Lets not also forget, they are working on it with a new platform, so the bits will take a bit longer as folks get used to trying to work within the new OS's capabilities/limitations. Especially if it is fighting the devs the whole way.

I will say ive heard rumor that OD1,91k[a].024, has been seen for download in Impulse.   https://forums.wincustomize.com/304605

Ruben..Just talked with Jeff Bargmann and he's going to shit can the whole ObjectDock thing for some kind of desktop icon grouping thing. Personally I think he's nutz...but so are you if you believe a word of this.

man i wish people would quit whining and just have some patience..."THE BEST THINGS IN LIFE ARE WORTH WAITING FOR"

I've got 0 complaints..........

Object Dock Plus has been the best bang for the buck of all my XP software.......
I purchased it Nov. 16, 2004 and for 3 years and 4 months it's been continually updated and supported for a measley $20. Thanks to Jeff & Stardock



1.9 should've been version 2 considering the new features added. Personally, I'm ready to pony up another $20

sigh.

Heck, I even forgot it was beta. It works that well.

Let's not start attacking folks and violating terms of service. 

What may be a little bug for one user can be a very big deal for another.  And for some users, even if the bug doesn't affect them too much they want what they bought to work 100%.  I think that's their right to expect and get that. 

But  . . . it can take time to fix bugs.    No one here is saying it doesn't.  Some folks are just asking for an update.  That's cool too, right?
