This "coming soon" crap is getting old. As a developer, they should have had access to SL betas and had a version ready. What does coming soon mean? I don't see where they even give the option for them to contact you when they have something.
It means we'll release this week, all going well.What does coming soon mean?
The contact section on our website has an email form and link to our Get Satisfaction page. We also have a Twitter link in the footer and on other pages of our website. We're VERY easy contact!I don't see where they even give the option for them to contact you when they have something.
Closed beta = Gives you direct contact with a smaller group of users. It has also let us keep some secrets about the release.They have released private beta and they are distributing it to selected testers. I never understood the idea of closed beta but its their choice.
Snow Leopard's release was about a month earlier than the rumours/speculation/initial comments made by Apple. That caught us a little off guard. We've been working on iStat Menus 2.0 for quite some time (yes, we have had access to the SL betas and have been using them for testing for months).
iStat Menus 2.0 isn't just a Snow Leopard compatibility update, it's the biggest update iStat Menus has seen ever. So please be a little patientSnow Leopard was only released 3 days ago.
I can give you some info about iStat Menus 2.0: It's in private testing now and there's close to 0 known issues. We're just finishing the app, much better documentation than we've ever had before, plus all the other things that go along with a release like this (web pages etc).
Please keep in mind that our team is tiny, we have around 15 projects we're managing and iStat Menus is free (well, donation-ware).

It's not always the right choice (we've done private and public betas in the past), but we've been happy with the results this time. Should make for a solid 2.0 release.
Given the supposed feature increase in 2.0, I just selfishly hope the price point (free) remains unchanged. I've been bummed when other previously free apps and utilities that I have become fond of using have began charging with the SL release and hope this isn't another one.
Honestly, if they did, I'd pay for it. It's a fantastic application, and developers need to pay their bills, too; it's their prerogative to charge for an application that they work diligently on and spend their own resources on.
