    It's around this time of year that we might start looking forward to a new version of Parallels

    Any word on what might be in store for Parallels v20 when it lands?
    Incidentally, is there a beta program that is perhaps open to Pro subscribers?

    I've been looking specifically for a beta program but have yet to locate anything, i don't suppose you can point me in the right direction?

    Apologies, I clearly didn't read this properly


    Checking their website or contacting support directly can provide the most current information on beta availability and upcoming features.​

    Hmm. I'd be interested in beta testing too.
    Can't remember the last time I wasn't on a developer beta.

    Still no answers from Parallels, unfortunately. It's a pity.:(

    Are they late with the Release? It's August 24th...
    The WIKI - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallels_Desktop_for_Mac - shows that in the past Years, since v10 - they were out with the Major Update by now.
    Version 9 came late on August 29th - so lets see if they come out with v20 next week...

    Not even a peep. I guess it could be any day now (historically releases are usually on a Monday or Tuesday) but who knows.
    If it's not going to be any time soon, it would be nice to get some visibility

    Yeah, this is really late. I hope they don't expect me to pay the yearly fee without having released a new version.

    We are august the 30th and there is still no new release. Fingers crossed that version 20 is well worth waiting.

    I'm a Pro subscriber and I have never been offered any technical previews, despite asking. I've been a Parallels user for 10 years now.
    September 2, and still no update. They tried to bill me the other day. I'm holding back payment until there is a new version released or my grace period runs out. If still no new version by then, I'll just import into VMware and not renew at all I think, since VMware is free now.

    It seems there is definitely a beta program, but it appears to be closed to the general public or otherwise by invitation only.

    I guess we just wait in the dark for whatever comes out of the woodwork. Some type of communication in this respect would be helpful
