Hi Carl!
Thanks for including T-Splines in your news. One clarification, though: T-Splines 2.0 for Rhino is still a WIP (work-in-progress). Hopefully we'll go to beta before too long, then after that we'll release the commercial-grade version of the product.
Best regards,
Matt Sederberg
CEO, T-Splines, Inc.
