Mplus 5.0

Had a pleasant talk with Linda couple of days ago (that was the first time I met her in person). She told me that version 4.2 should be called version 5.0 in terms of functionality. I personally agree, the parallel computation capability alone is a breakthrough in the development of Mplus. She also told me that the next major improvement will be on 1) making latent transition/latent Markov modeling easier, 2) extending to 3-level or even higher level models and, 3) porting to Unix/Linux . I am looking forward to seeing that coming! Good luck, Linda!
