The issue is that there were some very significant changes to the way the
front-end and back-end code interacts and rather than try to work on that on
multiple platforms at once, it was decided it was best to get the wrinkles
out and settle it down on one platform first. Once all the other front-end
related things are sorted out (this includes animation, output redirection,
and continue render amongst a few others), and the changes to the front-end
code are documented for the other platform authors to refer to, you can
expect to see a unix beta.

Hopefully that won't be too far in the future but I can't promise when.
