The DDR length stuff has been considered for many years now, and has been looked into as they have publicly acknowledged numerous times. AFAIK, you won't see it anytime soon, but I could be wrong, a lot of people have been asking for real signal integrity stuff for years, and as everyone knows, they have released practically squat in that area.
I don't know what's in the pipeline, but I doubt a real SI solution will come any time soon.
IMO they now have a massive resource problem, having dumped a large part of the staff in the delusional China strategy.
That's on top of, IMO, not enough focused resources before all the China thing happened when staff were at their peak.
So I can't possibly see how they can bring out all the new core stuff people want, real signal integrity stuff is not easy to do.
You would have noticed most bugs fixes and enhancement recently have been core PCB/SCH related which is good, they seem to be trying to keep the faithful happy on that front.
Yes, the whole FPGA concept they spent a decade and $100M+ building up has fallen into a heap as most people predicted. They were biting off far more than they could chew there. Lots of nice concepts in it, and works very well in some areas, but "some" isn't good enough.
They will never get there with their FPGA solution, of that I am certain. You only have to look at the lack of new device support over the years. Many promises, and not much delivered.
The coders they have left are very good, but you can only do so much with so few.
Maybe their China strategy has worked, and they were able to hire a ton of talented programmers very cheaply and get them up to speed, and dedicate them to the core PCB/SCH areas, and we'll see some fantastic new core tools out of the pipeline soon. I don't know what's happened since I've left, but I think my flying pig is more likely.
It's a real shame, because the tool is awesome, and could be the #1 PCB/SCH tool in the world, if only they would drop all the blue-sky all things to all people dreaming. But alas, they have shot themselves in the foot at practically every turn.
