I suspect that the development of PC10 is being carried out more for the benefit of existing and potential new Form Z users rather than existing PC users. No one seems to know what the current numbers of PC users there are, but I suspect it's less than that of From Z users. We also know that PC users naturally tend to be older and are diminishing as retirement looms. Therefore it makes more commercial sense to for the developers to cater for Form Z users (new and existing) rather than PC users.

They have been giving periodic updates. They've confirmed that the product is in beta testing. Beta testers have even posted screenshots. What you "deserve"?! Thanks for making my point.
Not sure what planet AudiA4 is living on. We've only been given the slightest info after many people complain and cajole.
Todd Stanley and AutoDesSys have shown they have no respect or care for users who are barely able to use their current version of PowerCADD on the last MacOS (Mojave 10.14.6). BTW, recently joining the list of unusable apps on Mojave are Google Chrome and Google Drive. Many people are forced to operate two Macs. One with Mojave & PowerCADD the other with a current MacOS and their current software.
Again, any decent software company would communicate frequently with their installed customer base with updates and a roadmap. You would think after the loyalty of PowerCADD's following for almost 30 years there would be appreciation shown. People have built their practice and workflows around this software so they have a right to complain and push back. Its no wonder why users have left PowerCADD.
hear hear
You guys need to go back and read my original post.

Just a quick note to reassure the PowerCADD community that we are committed to the modern PowerCADD. We have encountered a number of technical challenges and unexpected medical issues with our team that have us far behind our goals. At this point, we hope to release a public beta around the middle of December. We are looking forward to sharing the new PowerCADD with you once we feel it will meet your expectations

If this is true, it's amazing news. I shall continue struggle on with two laptops for a bit longer. I am so relieved to hear that there is light at the end of the tunnel.
I would also like to wish everyone on the team a speedy recovery from their medical issues, and thank you so much for all your hard work.

I'm very happy: my Power Book mid 2012 is almost at the end of its life and new M2 is anxiously waiting for PC 10

Do not you ever think to enter 2024 without a public beta
