When is Umbraco 8 coming?
=========================
When it's ready. We're done with the major parts of the architecture work and are focusing on three seperate tracks to prepare Umbraco 8 for release:
1) Editor Track (_currently in progress_). Without editors, there's no market for Umbraco. So we want to make sure that Umbraco 8 is full of love for editors.
2) Partner Track. Without anyone implementing Umbraco, there's nothing for editors to update. So we want to make sure that Umbraco 8 is a joy to implement
3) Contributor Track. Without our fabulous ecosystem of both individual Umbracians and 3rd party ISVs, Umbraco wouldn't be as rich a platform as it is today. We want to make sure that it's easy, straight forward and as backwards-compatible as possible to create packages for Umbraco
Once a track is done, we start releasing previews where we ask people to test the features we believe are ready. While the testing is going on and we gather feedback, we move on to the next track. This doesn't mean that there hasn't already been work done in the area, but that a track focuses on finalizing, polishing and preparing the features for release.
