No more software updates?

Hi there!
I bought TrackIR 1, 2, 3 Pro + VE and now, TrackIR 4. I cant fly w/o this great device.
One of the great "attractives" IMHO, of Naturalpoint and his star product, TIR, was the constant improvement of both software and hardware. Every week (well, almost) I was able to download new beta drivers with new features or improvements. I felt TIR was constantly evolving....until now.
Since the last software update on November 29, 2005, that evolutions seems to be "dead".
Is beta testing over?
In fact the TIR 4 works so nicely and so perfectly for me that I dont think I need a better software, but I would like you could add some new features, and Im sure more people think the same, and have their own suggestions.
Some ideas:
- NO EXIT CONFIRMATION ON CLOSING THE SOFTWARE. If I click on EXIT, man, I�m sure I want to exit.
- The posibility of tuning off the constantly blinking light on the unit, even if is completely disabled. I need to sleep, and I need no lights.
- Still, sometimes, I have problems with Forgotten Battles. Everything seems ok, but when the mission starts, I cant center the unit. Constantly is looking down. This happens very randomly and one time after lots of hours with the software turned on, and after playing several sims, like FS2004, but is annoying. Maybe this bug could be "pulited" a bit.
-Support for native mode on more FPS games, specially BF franchise.
-Joystick and/or keypress emulation, like the mouse emulation mode we have currently. I would like to use the Z axis like a zoom key on Forgotten Battles. This is possible now using several programs and virtual joysticks, but is a pain...
I hope my suggestions could be taken into account.
Thank you!
