Information about delivery date and new features in RS 2005?

Hey guys,
does anybody know where I can find info about the planned release date for
RS 2005 and what new features it will have? We're currently building an app
that will have to grow over the next two years or so and I'd like to take
future features into consideration (possible switch-over, less things to
build ourselves right now).
Thanks, ChristophRS 2005 feature / editions:

Thanks a lot for the links.
One of the problems we're facing right now is that Reporting Services
doesn't support radar charts (spider charts). But management/customer does
not want to give up their gadget. Does anybody know whether RS 2005 will
support that chart type?
If RS 2005 shouldn't support that chart type we'll have to look into (yet
unreleased) 3rd party components like Dundas chart or write a rendering
extension from scratch (which of course we'd like to avoid).
Thanks, Christoph|||Radar charts won't be supported natively, but Dundas will enable it on top
of RS 2005. See also:
