Linotype Explorer no longer being developed?

As CS4 has been released but so far LEX hasn't been updated to work which I would have expected.
The last one was february. Its a great app but I need the plug ins to work with cs4.

The unofficial forum has been attacked and is full of spam so useless.

Anyone got any news on this?

If they don't get an update out soon I may have to go back to Fusion.

I've been trying to find that out myself.

You'd think one enterprising MacWorld Editor would find out one way or the other (hint, hint)

That's a little late isn't it? I'm gonna get Suitcase anyway and then just see what happens next year.

Yea .. I was surprised by the timeline myself. Don't know why they are so behind the curve on this one. As I recall, Linotype was pretty quick on the CS3 plug-ins.

At least it's good to know they aren't letting it die.
