So when?
Oh, I thought you had a question that was easier to answer.
Well, first, public apologies to all that asked us the same question in private and I gave them false expectations. Yes, Sphinx is being planned for sometime and we postponed the release date a couple of times. So I won't give you any timeframe anymore. It will be released "when it's done". Most work being done now is on documentation.

As a teaser, here are some random screenshots. I'm available to ask any question you might have. Please create a new topic if you think it deserves a dedicate answer/discussion.
