The wait for 4.4 is almost over …

@ GHI - any rough guess how long after the 4.4 release GHI have a 4.4 SDK too? Is GHI already working with the Beta?
I’m specially interested in support for G120.
NETMF 4.4 has some quite important bug fixes for me.
A rough estimation like “about x month” or “we plan for Q1/2016” would be exact enough.
It will happen but quality comes first so wet are not putting any pressure on our team. There isn’t a release from Microsoft yet!
I know there is no release, only beta, but some companies start with Beta already, which was actually part of my question, if GHI is one of these.
So I read your answer as: You are not actively working on it, and you release the final 2015 SDK first.
But if 4.4 comes out in August, I guess the GHI 2016 SDK might already be based on 4.4?

I do not think there is a beta release from Microsoft yet. It should come very soon though.
The source code was tagged with a Beta tag - that’s as much of a “release” as we’ll see. Binaries will have to come from adventurous early adopters and vendors. So, yes, there is a beta version.
All I am trying to say is that we are asking GHI for an estimate release date and there is no official announcement from Microsoft about 4.4 yet 
Now, I am not saying we are not working already with Microsoft on 4.4.
That’s fair enough of course - my intent was only to say that there’s a beta out there. You’re completely correct that no firm release date has been set (that I know of). And, 4.4 seems like a much larger bit of code churn to have to take on and it’s clear that GHI has a lot of integration work to do and a lot of new releases and other irons in the fire.
You can just read this as a measure of the growing enthusiasm for what’s coming - both from MS and GHI.
Actually I asked not for an DateTime, but for an TimeSpan 
Means: I asked if you can roughly estimate (in Months or so) how long after MS does a release, you could follow up.
But when you say
Than I’m already quite happy ;D
