Our developer Luke/Xocel has been swamped with work on 2-3 projects including prep for the BitSeeds update and is behind schedule but making progress. I just spoke with him a few minutes ago and he doesn't want to give an exact date in case he's not able to meet it, but he said things will definitely be ready in January. 

I'd rather have this take a little longer and be done right than rushed and not go smoothly, so I'm good with this.



I've had people occasionally say they weren't syncing when they actually were - like many altcoins, if there has been a little while since the last block was found it will look like it's trying to catch up (spinning animation instead of a check mark in the corner of the window) and give the impression it's not syncing when it's actually caught up.

What block are you on now if you mouse over the "syncing" animation or the check mark? I'm seeing block 16,371 at the moment.
