Next release will be coming in about a month (I have been already working on it for the past 3 weeks) and will not have any visual changes.
I currently doing a lot of work to port the "hardcoded linux" (files handling, network access, threading, etc...) parts to be Qt so I will be able to port it much easier to any platform that support Qt (like Blackberry, WinCE, Windows, Desktop Linux, etc...). Since next release will contain a lot of changes to the application foundations, I will not recommend installing it and will consider it as an alpha release as it probably be stable at times.

After that alpha release I will start making some visual changes, making the entire UI QML based: Changing fonts sizes, improving visual performance, larger dialogs, etc... That will be known as a beta release which will include fixes to issues found in the alpha release. (targeted as 2 months from now)

Consequent releases will have fixes and additions of stuff I am able to hack from Waze 3.0 as currently its code is closed.

Sit tight, it might take some time...

@Gianko - you are not forgotten.
