My body and my wallet is ready...
We're still digesting 8.9999ws.
Please don't release it until it works .... don't ask what premature release reminds me of this election cycle.
Nothing premature about a 77 year old and a 74 year old! Immature perhaps...
But is the software?
I wouldn't expect L9 to come out while the WS customer discounts for L8 are still in force. I could be wrong, of course.
Release it when its right. Don't jump the gun and release an unfinished product.
They'll never get everything right at any releases. Plus this year is even gonna be worse...they never released the "new features" to the Logos Connect members where users can help them to squish out the bugs. And I don't think a few of "Star MVP Members" like Mark Barnes who participates in closed beta able to find everything.
So...Bob, Phil...release L9 already. AANNNDD.... continue future new features releases for Connect Members.
And I don't think a few of "Star MVP Members" like Mark Barnes who participates in closed beta able to find everything.
You apparently missed Mark Barnes' announcement of his new job and resignation from most Faithlife involvement. He will be missed.

Maybe next year or the next .... just keep the hot deals coming. Maybe WS resources instead of L9.
Surprised the Connectors have to wait. Maybe release L9 to the Connectors.
When was that announcement. I don’t see in his forum history. He will be missed.
I just hope they give us adequate warning to prepare.
Ditto.
Can some kind soul point me to it?? Thank you.
Quick googling says that Mark quit his pastoral job and took a job at Samaritans Purse. However that doesn’t mean that he quit playing with Logos and not involved with Beta stuffs.
Logos does not give advance notice. One day you look at their site in the morning and you see it is down for updates and then you see the new page and they announce the new software.
On the two year track, (September is finished) October - December is realistic.

True. I had forgotten. Seems to me though that if they did give advanced warning, they might find people saved up for a bigger purchase, so I can’t say I understand their logic.

This is all that needs to be said.
Any interactions with CS have been so delayed since the Wordsearch acquisition that I would be really surprised if they have the bandwidth to release L9 right now. November would be my guess.

Rumors are that everyone has been transferred to digging the ditch for laying the fiber optics between Nashville and Bellingham. [;)]

Haha. I did not intend the bandwidth pun but I will accept it and get a shovel. It is just a 12 hour drive to Nashville from my house.

for Logos 10? True
Indeed , and from L8 also.
Just to stir the pot (since this is no more than mere speculation anyway) - Are we sure there will be a L9? Widows8 went directly to Win10; Iphone 8 went directly to Iphone X.
But Logos (Libonix) has already had a series X
We were asked to give suggestions for L9. So it is coming.....
So it is coming
And there are people beta testing it, you can be sure. I assume you are one of them.
Interesting speculation
Not much speculation. I have been a prerelease reviewer in the past. So I have seen how it works. You are sworn to secrecy on pain of death and forfeiture of all property (so I exaggerated a little. I never breathed a word and others were equally silent.
I also missed that announcement. Do you have a link to it?
I miss him too.
I found this about Mark Barnes
https://www.evangelicalmagazine.com/authors/mark-barnes/
Website says SERVER MAINTENANCE. That suggests L9 is about to be announced.
Loaded for me
You are right. It is back loading for me. I guess it is false alarm.
That suggests L9 is about to be announced.
Two things to assume about the release of L9:
It's definitely gonna be released this month.
If they don't...
1. November is the release of new XBOX & PS5
2. People getting ready for Black Friday & Christmas sales. Family first.
3. November is election.. Bad economic times. (God help us)
So if they wait until November... They'll miss big money as people will ignore the sale. I'm sure they're ready to release it, I think Phil & Bob are just looking at the momentum & the traditional release cycle to follow the tradition.
Plus, everyone who were on payment plans from L8 have already paid off their debt. So Logos need to analyze their financial quickly. This is Finance 101 in this era.. Predict how many will subscribe & attach themselves to the company for projection of money.
If L9 is released in November, I'm sure they lose big money. October is their target.
Tip: for new users, especially WS users.... DO NOT ..I repeat...DO NOT BUY ANYTHING this month, until L9 is released. You'll save tons of money.
Sounds plausible assuming FL isn't operating under other assumptions
I hope Logos thinks this through, otherwise people will return their October sales purchases.
Sorry Mike, I beg to differ.
Right now and for how ever many more days that they have, migrated W.S. users get a single 50% upgrade discount. If they find a base package that strikes their fancy I think they should go for it now. Let dynamic pricing do its thing for a Logos-9 upgrade if they so desire.
Just my 2-cents, or a plug-nickel if you prefer that [:)]

Just my 2-cents, or a plug-nickel if you prefer that I have to agree with you, right now our discount is deep enough that dynamic pricing should more than compensate if we bought today and L9 dropped tomorrow. For example, Fundamentals is on sale for $50 and WS refugees can get it for $30. I can't remember what the blanket discount is on bigger packages for us thru 10/16.....50% maybe, there's been so many emails I cant find it right now
I think the highest discount that a major release has been was 34% off (and that was a combo discount, that also required a Logos Now subscription).
50% off on Logos 8 is an awesome deal, and should not be passed up!
From: https://www.logos.com/wordsearch-faq
I’ve heard that Logos 9 is expected to be released this year. Should I wait before considering an upgrade?
When Logos releases a new software version, we celebrate the event with discounts for everyone. However, the special upgrade offers for eligible Wordsearch customers are better than what you might expect during a Logos launch event. Plus, with dynamic pricing, any upgrade you make during the Logos 9 event will be further discounted for features or resources you’ve already purchased. You can upgrade today with confidence.
Faithlife makes special deals available to those who recently purchased an L8 package ... you can go ahead and make purchases now and know they will be taken into consideration.

It was emailed to new WORDsearch migrants who were not already Logos users.
