Is iTGB 1.3 planned for release?

Hey guys, been awhile since I jumped in here. Been working on 3D iPhone games mostly. I am brainstorming my next project and it seems like I'm going to need iTGB for it (I used iTGB for Ninja Rally earlier this year). Before I make a decision though I wanted to see if iTGB 1.3 is planned for release yet. I had a lot of problems making the iTGB game launchable and would love to benefit from the planned improvements like drastically reduced loading times.

If not, is there a beta or anything?

At the start of this month in the 1.3 Planning sticky thread we were told by Michael Perry that the Time frame for release is August, I'm holding out releasing my current project for the 'PVR on Cell ImageMaps' feature due to memory restrictions so I hope that it is released soon.

Does anyone know any more than this at the moment? I would really like to know also if there is going to be a beta soon or a full release soon.

I want it badly. Between hacking up some utilities for the AppStore and watching Asian horror, I want to start adding some stuff to iTGB. I just don't want to do it with the now less attractive 1.2 release when I know what's coming ;)

I'm about to release two games in the next month on 1.1 . I started the projects on 1.2 and retreared back due to stability. I can't wait for all the cool new features that 1.3 is going to have, but if it takes GG another month to make it stable I'm more than happy to wait. A beta version of 1.3 could be cool so we can start using the new features and help in testing them.
