How much will D4D be upgraded to address the new features in version 12?

1.) Pietro (StudioPM) has uncovered a number of declaration errors which can be cleaned up, but I did not see any D4D macros in the Beta release and wonder if the new macro proceudres are being tested out.
2.) The features access for DCAL has not been upgraded since version 9 so features in xRef, Bitmap entities, smart types, Mtext & Ptext, etc.. are not very accessible.
3.) State Machine structure is a more dificult a process to program with and understand than Legacy DCAL. If D4D included a Delphi Control for generating a macro to serve as a template, it might make things more accessible for those with some programming experince, but who are more interested in an architect or engineering career than one in programming.
4.) Will D4D be upgraded in the Final V12 release. If not, is there any loose agenda that can be shared re: what is planned in the future.
