If there's no announcement during the event, I think you guys can finally write off Aperture as abandonware. Sure you can keep using it, but LR will have more features out of the box.
How the hell is software that had it's last update on April 16, 2013 "abandonware"?
You might want to look up the definition of abandonware before you make ridiculous claims like that.
(Hint: "Abandonware is a product, typically a software, ignored by its owner and manufacturer, and for which no product support is available.")
A product that had it's last update merely 45 days ago and is clearly still supported by the manufacturer could not possibly be called abandonware.
Furthermore, WW
DC is a developers conference. They rarely release new software at the developer's conference unless it's tied to a new hardware product release.
And although they haven't released a "full" version update in a couple of years, they've added many new features in the dot releases.
For example, Aperture 3.3 (June 11, 2012) added all these features:
New unified photo library for both iPhoto (v9.3 or later) and Aperture; no import/export required; Faces, Places, slideshows, albums and web sharing work across both applications. Support for AVCHD video has been added. Aperture now lets you use camera-generated previews for faster browsing of RAW files immediately after import. Highlights & Shadows tool has been updated to deliver higher-quality results and work with extended range data. A new Auto Enhance button has been added to the Adjustments panel. White Balance tool now includes Skin Tone and Natural Gray modes to simplify color balance. Auto button has been added to the White Balance tool for one-click color balancing. Set Desktop command has been added to Share menu so you can set a desktop background from within Aperture. A new Manual option allows you to drag and drop projects to customize sort order in the Projects view. New preference allows you to set the background brightness of the full screen browser. Facebook, Flickr, and MobileMe albums are now displayed as thumbnails in the main window when accounts are selected in the source list. Minor terminology changes, including "Original" instead of "Master" and "Info" instead of "Metadata." Source list includes a new "Recent" section, showing Last Import and recently-viewed projects. Raw Fine Tuning is no longer displayed in the Adjustments panel by default. Faces can now be named by dragging them from the Unnamed Faces browser to existing snapshots on the corkboard. The Faces corkboard now includes a menu that allows you to set the order of face snapshots. Newly designed monochrome source list and toolbar icons. Addresses numerous issues related to overall performance and stability.[14]
But yeah, it's definitely "abandonware". And you must be on Adobe's payroll.
