Experience shows that that means early October.

I'm guessing more late October considering every single update they have done is PF2

If nothing else, an update to the road map and expected timelines would be nice.

I'd imagion we'll be lucky if it's out by October 21st.

Seems pretty clear PF2 is their focus and they'll get around to Starfinder when they have a chance, even though PF2 is just a playtest.

Hadn't fired up Hero Lab or been to the forums in a while and was hoping I would see Armory added but it hasn't. It really sucks that Starfinder has been neglected for a game that is not even out yet. I don't even want to think about how long it will take for the new AP content to become available. Remember Lone Wolf you promised to have Armory available shortly after Gencon. I call BS on there being a SF team and PF team, if there were we would be seeing SF content in a timely manner. I real wish I hadn't bought the PF2 module now because it only encourages them to neglect SF.

The thing is, the nature of the Pathfinder Playtest means that not using the latest updates makes the process basically useless for getting meaningful feedback to Paizo, which puts a lot of pressure on Lone Wolf to keep up.

It would have been nice to know ahead of time that SF would be put on the back burner until PF2 is released. The reason I bought HLO instead of using PC Gen was because I expected new content to be added to the system in a timely manner.

To be clear no one actually said this. What was said is that the team building the UI (web development, HTML, CSS, JSON) is a different team from the team that builds the game systems (PF1, Starfinder, PF2) using HL scripting language. Its also a different team that handles the binary application for Windows, Mac, iPad and HLO which is written in C++.

Unfortunately LW has one team of three people to do ALL the different game systems they support. Obviously currently PF1, PF2, and Starfinder have the largest amount of content that comes out at a monthly pace. This team of three is also the same group that answers questions on the forums and handles the bug reports for all game systems.

To grow LW has to add games but by adding games things are falling behind. But with new games and more income they may be able to hire more employees. But until the new game is out and making money they can't hire more plus new PF1 content is coming to a end at GenCon 2019. Its sort of a vicious cycle and a catch-22. :(
