environment into a completely new Wizard Editor, where each component of the old Wizard Editor has it's own window. It also includes the Icetips Template Registry, which is the basis for our third party support.

The level of third party support in the initial release is still undecided. It will support extension templates, but as to what level that will be, I can not tell right now. I have options for control templates and code templates in my design, but they will require considerable additional work over extension templates and I may not be able to hammer it all into the first release in May.

We are planning a release at least every week (probably two builds some weeks and I plan on getting them out Tuesdays and Fridays), until May 20. when we expect to have a final release for sale.

I have got a lot of good feedback from users in the past few months and it has helped me a great deal to decide on what features are important and what core technology I needed to develop. If you have any special requests or must-have options that you would like to see, now is definitely the time to pass them along!

The Professional Wizards will happily co-exist with the Standard wizards and the file format is 100% compatible so you can directly open your existing .itw files from the Standard wizards in the Professional Wizards.
