There has been no change to the release date. 4th Quarter 2010. We still have two months in that time frame. I hope we don't need all of it or even more. I know you've heard this a million times before but Matrix won't release it unless it's ready.
There are only two issues left to be resolved. Then it's ready for release.
In the meantime more and more content is being added to the update. At the moment one of my scenarios is being tracked back to Russian sources. That's been an interesting journey.
Good Hunting.
