Quote - To summarize what has been shared so far... there is a current project that has been in progress for several weeks now to fix a variety of bugs in Bryce 6. At this point the purpose of the project is solely to correct the highest priority bugs and no release date. There is also no plan for new features or a major release of Bryce, but that is not to say that it is not a possibility as the progress and distribution of development resources are assessed.

I visited that Daz link and read the above quote as Daz's state of development of Bryce. I don't know what you read this to mean but this sure sounds to me like development is dead.  It sounds like they are willing to try to fix the current version and that's it.  Version 6 is the end of the line and if you need more or want more or wish more then you will need to take a deep breath and be satisfied with what it is.  There are no new features on the way!
