Release date for new Thea Render Engine public beta..when?

Ioannis Pantazopoulos, Thea's developer has mentioned that...."The open public beta starts in 2 weeks from now and it will be half price. The application is already at production status when it comes to rendering stills and you will be able to purchase right from day one with a 50% discount"...so we are looking at possibly the third week in March. Can't wait! Here is their Homepage..
