The Siggraph 2020 Virtual Conference/Exhibit begins in two days and I wonder if SideFX will announce something this coming week?

At this point, I wonder if they'll just skip over 18.5 and go straight to a 19 announcement (with an official release sometime in the Fall)?

I've been hearing things online so I know 18.5 is a real thing that has been floating out to beta testers now for quite some time, but I'm also surprised by the relative radio-silence of SideFX since it seems a bit unusual for them.

Anyway…it'll be interesting what SideFX (and other developers) have in store for the creative community this coming week.

H18.5 is now over build number 300. That is the only thing what i know.
