What is a realistic release date for SE5?

[Arkcon]

So here's a question, what would the beta testers say was the difference between the SE5 demo, and the released SE5. Does it have to be completely done, just waiting for mass duplication or can it be released with a few teensy bugs that still need to be ironed out.

The SE4 demo was so long ago, I don't even remember -- was the only thing missing back then a correct spelling of "jubilant"?

*SIGH* I was being patient, occasionally checking this board and Malfador's site for news, and now I've gotten all excited about SE5 again. I've been playing against the TDm Modpack again, and I'm just wishing I could really play on that 3-d perspective view I've seen in screenshots -- the SE4 2-D screen, which once seemed just fine, now seems so old fashioned.

I wonder, would Malfador consider releaseing a short move file, showing someone clicking around on the system map screen, just to show us how the functions work?
