A good guess would be right ...

NOW.

No, FMI is famously tight-lipped about when they'll release upgrades, or what those upgrades will entail, but they've been pretty good about giving you something worth getting right around January or February of each year, and that's where I'd be putting my money this time, too.

While we wait, we can always engage in the parlor game of speculating about what feature we'd most like to see. I've got 3 things I've dropped into the FMI suggestion box several times the last year, and I'm hoping we get them both:
 • Bring back the "Tools" floating toolbar (tho now it'd be called an "inspector").
 • Give us 1-click vertical-alignment buttons right next to the horizontal-alignment buttons. (Note that they've already done this for formatting container fields.)
 • Stop auto-scrolling the "Manage Scripts" window so the most recently worked-on script is always at the bottom.

Then there's the one that I've been suggesting for most of the last decade, applying only to the Windows version:
 • Why CAN'T I drag something out of the printable area when "Show Page Margins" is turned on?
