A newer version of Arena is already out. I don't know if this is the one that you want though. You may be looking for a version more advance than that.

I have no idea when the new Arena will be ready,but I went back to version 1.1 as it's more stable and not heavily bugged off....

Soon Yves soon...depends on a few things.

People have lives to lead. What is a hobby (until further notice) to Martin is not high on the list. What I can say to you is that he works on Arena when and if time allows. He is also working on the linux version. He is not a company, he is just one person with many helpers.

I personally don't care if Arena 2.0 takes two more years (but i doubt highly that is the case) to come out. Suffice it to say...Arena is and will be at the forefront of computer chess because that is what Martin wants.

How long he takes to do something is his concern. As far as i and anyone at Arena is concerned he can take as much time to do it as he wants.

It is his......and he decides what he wants to do. There is no pressure.....he has done more than enough already......

Anything else is a bonus.

Regards

Christopher

I agree with Christopher.
Arena is great software, thanks to all developers.
Will wait for Arena 2.0 (for Linux too)

Anything that is at the "forefront" of any entity will have public expectations.

It is fine if you don't care when it comes out, but for others who would like a version that is less buggy or has different features will be asking when and where.

Although I don't believe Arena to be at the forefront, because it doesn't support Chessbase engines, yet Chessbase GUI supports nearly everything now... that is the forefront in my eyes.

Is there any creditable rating list that exclusively uses Arena?
