 * Will there ever be a responsive version of Thematic, so that websites can display
   better on mobile devices?

 * Hello, there is a beta (Thematic 2.0) available on Github, so it is just around
   the corner!
    If you can’t wait there is a very nice starter them (child theme)
   from [Scott Nix](http://scottnix.com/responsive-base-a-child-theme-for-thematic/)
   that is responsive that you can tweek for yor needs. He has also made another
   nice childtheme that is more styled and sort of good-to-go. It is called [Child´s play](http://scottnix.com/childs-play-responsive-child-theme-for-thematic/).
   Best of luck!

 * any idea how far round the corner it is – how long will it be? trying to decide
   whether or not to change theme.
    many thanks.

 * I’m also interested in any guess-timates of the time frame for the official release
   of the 2.0 Beta version.
 * I’ve been developing a site (for my own use) using the 2.0 Beta version and Scott
   Nix’s child theme with nice results so far, but have a few trepidations on using
   the Beta for a paying client. Any advise?
 * Also, will the 2.0 beta, when it is ready for public release, be released as 
   an update to Thematic, or will it be released as a completely different theme?
 * Either way, If I develop using 2.0 Beta, will I be able to switch themes to the
   public final release by continuing to use my child theme (developed using the
   2.0 Beta as its parent), but just setting it as a child of the public release
   version, rather than a child of the 2.0 Beta theme? (And ticking off any needed
   settings in the theme options, as I understand it.)
 * Thanks! And to all of you who are developing the new version: Great job!

 * We are looking to release 2.0 soon after WordPress 4.0 is out, which means end
   of August/beginning of September. I’m testing with 4.0 beta right now and things
   look good so far.
 * The release will be an update to Thematic and be available through you site’s
   dashboard and here on wordpress.org. This is why we want to test it properly,
   so no sites will break in the upgrade.
 * In the final version there is no checkbox for html5 markup in the theme options.
   New installations will get the html5 markup with responsive styles automatically.
 * And yes, you should be able to continue to use your child theme with the stable
   release. That’s the whole idea. Just upgrade (replace) the parent theme files.
