Hi Don,
It's certainly taking longer than I'd hoped for, and I wish it was because I was adding so much into it, but alas the reason is more prosaic - there are a bunch of other deadlines that are happening at the moment that I need to attend to. I'm still keen to get it out the door well before the October conference in Eden though so that's at least a deadline of some sort.
At the moment we've completed the PHP support, and the multi-site-on-one-port support. Before the first release though I want to update all the JavaScripts to their respective current versions. Once that is done I'll probably start the public access to the NetTalk 5 builds, much in the same was as I've done with NetTalk 4.
Cheers
Bruce
