2021 give us a sneek peak

I know it's gonna be shipped when it's ready ;-)
Like the last years.
But could you give us an idea how close you are?

I have 3 large major features planned.
A is done and already has finished beta testing. Testers like it a lot. It's pretty darn cool.
B is currently in work, some technical challenges to deal with. But looking better every day. It's evolutionary.
C is currently on hold, in favor of finishing work on B and because I have to learn even more stuff to get C done in the way I want. It's revolutionary.

The development branch for IMatch 2021 is separate from IMatch 2020. I continue adding small enhancements and bug fixes to both code bases and I will ship regular IMatch 2020 updates until IMatch 2021 is ready.
I have no timeline. I want to get it done as soon as possible, but I also want it to work as good as possible.
I favor "make it work better" over "get it out earlier", to some extent.
I ship usable modules to selected testers as soon as possible, to get early feedback and find bugs. I also discuss my plans and ideas and progress in two invitation-only boards here in the community.

Thanks, that sounds good.
Though, it also sounds like it's not ready tomorrow.

Thank you for the quickview.
