The question has been asked if there with be an updated edition now that TMG v6.0 has been released.  At this time, we do not expect to publish an updated version of the book.  While TMG v6.0 does contain some new features, the majority of the features of the program are still covered by the book.  Possibly, in the future, if a new release of TMG is made, we may consider a new edition at that time.  Until then, we think that most people will still benefit from the book in its present form.
