Toom Boom V4 customer release in September 2007.
I've been using ToonBoom Studio Pro 1 through 2.5 and I have to say I really cannot recommend this application. Not because of the functionality which is good and the UI is pretty well thought out for animators, but for some of the terrible bugs, the non-existing support and the endless "we'll fix that in the next version" apologies from the vendor.
Worst thing is that these next versions usually come out about half a year to a year later than the Windows version, often have less features, and cost an arm and a leg even for upgrades. I've switched to Anime Studio (aka Moho) and I have been happy ever since.
