My guess:
If Renoise 2.9: beta release in mid-December 2012, final release in Mars 2013
If Renoise 3.0: beta release in late February 2013, final release in May 2013.
the favourite game of one of my 2 large maine coon cats is to suddenly dodge in front of my feet when i’m crossing a large tiled area in our house. i figure she wants to trip me so the fall breaks my chalky old bones and the two of them get to snack on my face sooner.
We’ve got to admit, it’s still in beta.
It’s been in beta all this time.

But for reals, my bets are on an xrni overhaul. Hopefully with timestretching.
Well, unfortunately not time-stretching, but how about a penis-enlargement feature? (Your ego will be stretched for free here)
DON’T RUIN MY DREAMS.
After renoise geek edition, renoise viagra.
Yea! Just what the doctor ordered! Thanks devteam! 
WHat’s been bothering me the most is that I don’t know whether it will be renoise 2.9 or 3.0 .
Since my license ends at 2.9 …and when the release is 3.0 I won’t be able to download the beta , iiow …I will have to wait a few days for the bank transfer and a renewed license …and that will be verry painfull …when the announce is a 3.0 …
Update, now! I can feel the bomb dropping soon 
Well, how about skipping some weekends of bar-visits and save your bar-tab money for the upgrade just in case?
A-HA!
gotcha, that means 3.0 will come this or next month.
that’s what i call an announcement! naiez.
Yours sincerely,
Sherlock.
damn I hope that’s true!
Hehe, based on previous releases and forum-speculation rounds I think vV’s function is to add mystery and confusion concerning new releases. 
He is the designated “shroud of mystery”! 
OOOH! I’m good till 2.9 too, here’s hoping i need to splash on some 3.0 action.
Calling Ian Mackaye a tryhard. Educate yourself, mongoloid.
Please change thread title, every time I open up the Renoise forums, my heart stops for a second.
You want me to change the version number to 3.0?
