Hi Josch,
There's some information about the planned improvements for Guide 8
at
http://www.projectpluto.com/guide8.htm
As for the schedule: I'm hoping early April, but early May looks
more likely. Once it's reasonably close to being ready, I'll be sending
out upgrade offers to all current Guide users for whom I have e-mail
addresses (and there will, of course, be an announcement on this
list as well.)
