Probably next year, but its first version will not have all QM2 features. It is not compatible with QM2, because its scripting language is C#.

Hi Gintaras,
I would rather you have time to work on release of QM3 then answer my question in great detail   
But......since so much of my professional work including large #'s of colleagues depends on QM (QM2 code), I was wondering if you could shed some light on what QM3 will mean:
Would love to know more about:

• why scripting language is C#? What additional capabilities does that give i.e. What advantages to learn new syntax/structure?
  
• Will it be more compatible or easier to take advantage of newer Windows API methods, .NET, UI elements like WPF, use of existing 3rd party or application dll's?
  
•  Will it be easier for you to provide solutions code-wise? (we truly appreciate all you do in the forum and QM updates!!!!)
  

• How easy/hard will it be to re-write current QM code in QM3? Will it be worth it or advised by you to do so or just use QM2 code for old stuff and QM3 stuff for new?
  
• If so, will it be allowed to run both QM2 and QM3 environments at same time?
  

 I have been trying to learn Python since much of Machine-Learning world likes Python. For me, the difference between QMscript, VB, VBA, Python is all just a matter of learning syntax but the logic/structure is still very understandable, whereas C# code that I see on MSDN seems harder for me to get my head around (but I am always eager to grow as a part-time-developer).

And finally any updates on likelihood of beta release?

Thanks for any info - hope you don't find so many questions to be too demanding  - we QM devotees  have insatiable desire for new magic from Gintaras!!!! Thanks for all you do!
