There are some info concerning PTC Product Calendar on PTC official web site.
16.50 Q3/Q4 2009
17.00 Q2/Q3 2010
We are on 2009, and the latest PTC/CoCreate release is still named 2008! Not a pretty good introduction for prospects
Most of competitors are already selling 2010 versions (AutoCAD) or investigating further ahead.
I've no rumor by the way.

Read the press and blog roll from PTC user and you should be able to figure it out. WF 5.0 gets direct edit technology similar to SolidWorks instang 3D; WF 6.0 gets a history free model just like NX/SolidEdge. I think you can read between the lines on that one.

I think it’s great that Autodesk and Wildfire are introducing direct editing, maybe if we are really lucky Cocreate will wave a magic wand and allow you to have a dynamic link between a parts, say a casting and a machined part for example, that combined with the "frankfurter and krautt" interface will keep the company solvent / relevant.

I heard that PTC/CoCreate will change the naming a little.
They will not keep "2008 etc."

Instead the official name will be smth. like "CoCreate Modeling 17".

16.50 is starting Beta test. We will be testing it with customer's issues in support alongside our current version.
17.00 is in Alpha test, and contains quite a few changes. I've seen a demo of it, and it's very impressive. (sorry, no hints)

CoCreate will follow PTC's lead and not use the current year to designate a version. That was a big marketing thing back in 2000, but it's time has come and gone.
