That there will never be a Carrara 9 loaded with jaw-dropping new features/improvements/fixes is a certainty. But I don't rule-out further 8.5.x.x releases.

The latest 8.5.1.19 version 'smells and feels' like it was hastily put together by a summer intern paid with peanuts, although I do not have any hard evidence for it.

If my 'hunch' about a summer intern working on Carrara oft and on is correct, we should see a new Carrara 8.5.x.x 'release' sometime next fall. It will be a buggy, poorly tested version of Carrara and it will eventually have a mostly unuseable Connect 'functionality'.

Now Doc Bernie, this speculation is not called for and won't be tolerated. It wasn't peanuts, it was popcorn. A rather large bag in fact!

I have photgraphic evidence

Ha Ha Ha Ha! Thanks Tsarist for this irrefutable evidence! It proves my case beyond reasonable doubt!

I want to make it clear that I am not hitting on that intern. In fact I am certain that the poor kid has tried his/her best.. The point I am trying to make is that at this point in time, a large bag of pop-corn is all that Daz is willing to spend on Carrara developments.

And we should all feel lucky, because Daz won't even spend this much on Hexagon or Bryce!
