It's coming....
The beta of Athena 2008 should be released in may, with the RTM planned for July 2008.
Athena 2008 will sport a huge amount of AJAX, almost 2x the amount of Athena. It will be for CS 2008 ONLY, and contain a semi update the theme.
The drop down menu's have been replaced with Drop line menu's, to take up less room. The next and previous buttons utilize JavaScript to scroll between the items in the drop line menu.
The athena bar will get a slight update, when you change tabs it will darken the rest of the page so you can focus on the part that your editing. And the styles tab will be implemented.
New to athena 2008 will be the REST API which will allow client side editing and changing of the athena style settings.
Also to come in athena 2008 will be a better Control Panel interface. An interface that will control the athena.config file.
Athena 2008 will also be the 1st theme to use CSLive v2, complete with it's own Control Panel Interface.
The search box will be AJAX'd to provide the 1st page of results instantly as you type, and a link to the full results.
A webcast will follow shortly with more information.
