Hello all!
Glad to hear SONAR will continue, new name, okay I understand, yet, I want to know where do life time updates stand?

It would be nice if people would read the announcement threads or the dozens of posts with this same title first.
Your answers are in the first post by Meng. 
 
 

here's the links to those posts:

Guys, (everyone reading this, not just the OP),  please read the sticky by Meng 3 or 4 times before posting questions.
Everything we know is contained in that post, and while some of his statements may be open to interpretation (just what will the new flagship product contain?) further discussion can only be speculation.
 
Also, please keep further discussion to the 2 or 3 establish threads here.  Opening new threads to ask the same questions just bloats the forum and hides the genuine Sonar support requests, of which there are still plenty.
 
Thank you.
