Yes  'just' as in when it was released. That's why theres bugs all over the place that didnt use to be there.
The logistics behind rewriting a complex program are intense. It's tough to get it bugfree! Especially if you're re-writing someone else's code...
I hope they ended up making a properly rewritten version, not a half-arsed attempt in order to save time.

As for taking the cararra code, and slapping a bryce interface on it. I wouldnt that just give you facelifted carrara rather then a new bryce?

If you ask me, they should try to merge the applications, take the best of both.

As for the snow option... simple as the interface might sound, the technical implementation is highly complex ;-)
