Should we be worried about the health of Infragistics? In prior years a Vol 2 release would be imminent about now, but we've not even see a Vol 1 release yet! Other than perhaps the Windows Phone stuff, It doesn't look like anything has been updated this year. Has there been a reduction in staff, or just a major shift of resources away from the NetAdvantage products onto something else?
The Windows Forms roadmap seems pretty thin this year too, but perhaps that reflects industry trends...
Yikes, 6 days and still no reply. Please note that I was not asking for a release date. As a developer, I understand that those are touchy.
My question was about your 2011 road map, or lack thereof. When there is a sudden break in the regular Infragistics release cycles we've been used to, it makes us wonder. A lack of explanation leaves even your long-time customers to fear the worst. I would think that renewals are pretty important to you.
It sounds like I'm not the only customer wondering what's going on here.
Hi Ridge, I didn't see a question in the original post ... sorry about the delay in response. With the multiple new products - jQuery CTP, Reporting CTP, Mobile CTP - and all of the goodness in 11.1 that we talked about here, we've been busy :

Are there specific features you are looking for in Windows Forms? That team is alive and well, and we are planning 12.1 / 12.2 right now, so if you'd like to see something in there, shoot me an email at jasonb@infragistics.com.
11.1 is slated for June 6th (fingers crossed, we hit code freeze on the jQuery product last week), 11.2 will come in the fall (usually Oct/Nov), and in between you will see a bunch of other exciting releases - We'll have more major product released this year than we ever have - as well as ahuge web site update:

Hope this helps!
