Does anyone know what happened to the "New NatTrack" that was supposed to be released back in November but got pulled the day before CTP?

The promo video got set to private:

And it was supposed to have these features:

Main Features:
- Custom drawn oceanic tags with detailed mode and status indicators
- Smart traffic filtering by area and altitude; oceanic controllers only see the aircraft relevant to them
- NAT Track overlays and overview window
- Smart route drawing function, interpolating NAT tracks as the aircraft's route if they are flying one
- Lists: Inbound (showing direction of flight), Other, RCLs (Requested Clearances), Conflicts
- Sep tool showing potential conflicts for two aircraft presuming continuance on current heading
- PIV (Path Intercept Vector) tool showing potential conflicts along two aircraft routes
- RBL (Range Bearing Line) showing distance between two aircraft and indicating any conflicts
- Halo and PTL (Projected Track Line) tools with ability to choose distance
- Grid display
- Flight plan window with ability to receive and action text oceanic clearance and revision requests in the scope (via natTrak API)
- Message window to view text/CPDLC requests and action them
- Probe tool to detect conflicts down a track before issuing an oceanic clearance
- Automatic Mach Number Technique distance calculation between two aircraft given a point
- Controller scratchpad for general information
- Saving of data

It was supposed to be used during last cross the pond but it wasn’t properly tested and caused issues to my knowledge.

The project was not continued because there were a number of issues that prevented a timely release and testing process of the software.

The list of features you mention are from the controller plugin, not the "new natTrak", which is still being used, just without the messaging services.

Cheers,
