Family Tree Maker 2017 Approaches the Starting Gate...

I read this from Jack Minsky of Software MacKiev on the Family Tree Maker User group page on Facebook tonight:

======================================================

JULY 13 , 2017

GOOD NEWS ON THE DOORSTEP
After nearly a year and a half in the making, and after three and a half of the longest months of our lives, it appears that FTM 2017 will be crossing the finish line in style sometime this weekend with a homecoming we hope you'll find worthy of this grand old brand. While we will await final QA pronouncements tomorrow, it's clear that we have arrived.

LAST CALL FOR PRE-ORDER PRICES
With delivery day nearly upon us, it's time to say goodbye to the longest pre-order sale in the history of pre-order sales. If you plan to upgrade to FTM 2017 and haven't yet, now's the time to do that. You'll get a download for just $29.95 (vs. $39.95 regular upgrade price). Editions on DVD's and USB drives are also available. Sale ends tomorrow Friday, July 14th. To preorder see below.

ROLLOUT MAY TAKE UP TO THREE DAYS
We will post a rollout schedule here as soon as we have one. The likely start is late on Saturday, July 15th, beginning with test drivers. We will roll out as quickly as the system allows. Everyone will be notified by email when it's their turn to download. Please do not contact Live Chat to ask about your email timing so we can support users who need assistance with the new edition.

A NEW ERA FOR FAMILY TREE MAKER
It's been quite an adventure getting our new edition ready for you. Three thousand beta testers have pounded on it. A hundred thousand of you have taken it for a test drive. And while no software is perfect, this one is looking pretty darned good to us. It's by far the hardest thing we've done in our two decades as developers. We sure hope you like it.
