Revit 9.0???

[Les Therrien]

It's getting to be that time of year again!
Has anyone heard anything?

[rodneyf]

Les,
I think Revit has been moved to the spring release times along with all other Autodesk products, so we will not hear anything until after the first of the year if anything at all.

I believe it is on the same release schedule as all other autodesk products now so I wouldn't expect it until...what is it march, april? The beta program hasn't even started yet.

[aaronrumple]

...yes. Too slow. I expressed my vote for continuing the rapid release cycle when meeting with the adsk reps recently. (I'd prefer monthly updates as long as the bugs were being zapped with the point releases.) Revit had some damn cool development techniques back in the old days. I'm just wondering what's left now....

ADSK doing yearly releases will just give the competition more time to catch up.

Hey guys, I read an "I think", and a "I believe", so I'm wondering if the re is an "I know for a fact"
out there anywhere. Where did you-all hear about this? It is big disappointing news to me, and many others I'm sure.

Thanks,

Bill

Note there are still point releases inbetween, 8.1 is a major release to me.

[BWG]

8.5 would be a nice christmas present to tie us over until the spring.

So there's no chance of another release timed to coincide with AU?

Allow me to interject... I like the way it is going now for few reasons

Pros:

• Less in the way of training on upgraded functionality
• The developers have a full year to implement the preferred functionality (and work out bugs presumably). In other words, they can focus on development and not worry as much deadlines.
• I can plan on a release date
• Less upgrading of projects to a new release

Cons:

• We, as a community, have to wait 6 months or so longer for functionality that we are hoping for.

I am sure there would be more, these are off the top of my head...
