I only have partial answers for you.
This forum will be shut down. We will keep it around for archival purposes, but it will be read-only. The new forum is where all new community interaction will happen. The new forums will not require additional user accounts, as they share their logins with our main website.
We have no announcements regarding the NUG.
The project file format has not changed, so you will not have any trouble loading older projects.
Our release schedule will be quarterly.
Console apps themselves will not change, but there are of course framework fixes and features in Xojo that are not in older releases. It is no different than going from 2011r2 to 2012r1.
Hi Thom, thanks for the reply.

Wow, that sucks.

Um, so there's only one Xojo forum and it's fee based?
Unbelievable.
Can non paying for forum access customers at least read the posts?

Ok, so what you're saying is:
The new IDE is free but paying customers don't care. Big wow a free IDE with no forum/community support system.
<sarcasm>
That's really a great way to build a new customer base especially with the level of documentation that we get.
</sarcasm>
The cost of products has gone up for serious users.
The current forum will be gone and now we have to pay to use the new Xojo forum or we have no forum.
The mailing list might disappear or also cost money.
Our current user accounts on here will no longer exist because we're going to have to use our Xojo customer account information which removes our privacy.
As a repeat paying customer and member of this community it doesn't sound too good to me.
I don't care about 'flash and glitter', I care about substance.
Sounds like a lot of nickel-and-diming to me.
What's next? My kidney?
I recant my 'I like it' post in the other thread.
