Could we please have at least one official response from YES software as to the future of CC.
If there is to be no more updates can you at least tell us, I'd like to concentrate my efforts on using supported software.
If yes software is not continuing with CC I will move to CCS for my next projects.
If CC is to be dropped will you be adding anything like it to CCS? For example a "fast build" facility in it that works the same way that CC does with it's forms. You would cover both bases with this.
Any word at all would be appreciated, you have some very loyal CC users out there many of us love the product and use it continually!

I can't say this is official but I asked this question and got this response (this is also posted in the "What about CodeCharge" thread)
"The decision on CodeCharge has not been made yet as we are still finalizing CodeCharge Studio 2.0 and haven't make decisions on what to work on next.
Generally, CodeCharge Studio IS the functional enhancement to CodeCharge. We took CodeCharge technology, rewritten some parts and added new features, thus creating CodeCharge Studio.
The actual idea and need for CodeCharge Studio came from users who felt that CodeCharge is too limited due to its inability to preserve the code and HTML that users modify. Lack of source control also made CodeCharge a good tool for a single user but not a team of developers.
To satisfy the need of CodeCharge users, CodeCharge Studio was created to resolve those issues.
In that sense I don't see much need to keep upgrading a version of product that already has been upgraded. The upgrades would generally mean to re-create CodeCharge Studio once again.
After the release of CodeCharge Studio we've been also watching the sales of CodeCharge to see if there is further interest in this product, but the sales are very small compared to CodeCharge Studio, while most of CodeCharge users also upgraded to CodeCharge Studio.
Thus please assume that if CodeCharge is continued to updated then it will be for strategic reasons (for example integration with NetObjects Fusion) and such updates will be much less frequent than the updates to CodeCharge Studio.
Since most of the users who still purchase CodeCharge upgrade it to CodeCharge Studio within 3-4 months, we leave the decision with the users as to when they feel comfortable upgrading. The maintenance is there if users take the time to learn that CodeCharge Studio does exactly what CodeCharge did, plus more."
Hope that helps.
