I vote - 1.7!

Any news on a release date?

Go only for J1.7, Joomla 1.6 is end of support and it's not worth to loose your time for it. Look for template clubs - they are supporting 1.7 only.

Thank you guys.

I am working on the frontend, making a good progress. Having in mind that Joomla 1.7 now supports non-transliterated aliases (thanks JM) I will probably drop support for URL generation by titles. From now on they will be generated from alias only and, if you don't want transliteration, you simply turn on Unicode Aliases in Global Configuration. Don't think anybody wants punctuation and special characters in their URLs anyway.

I am looking for end of September as the release deadline. It might as well come before that but this is what I can promise right now.

The main content component has been finished. The URLs are just as pretty as before, now with support for unlimited category levels. You can choose whether to include all categories and subcategories in the article URL or not.

The code has been restructured and is done with performance in mind with as few DB calls as possible.

Here are some URL examples:
http://site/sample-data-articles/joomla/extensions/
http://site/sample-data-articles/joomla/extensions/components/contact/
http://site/sample-data-articles/park-site/photo-gallery/animals/

Support for suffix, custom space character, archive, pagination etc. have also been done. Working with converting the core components now.

A beta version should be ready for testing in a few days. If anyone is interested in giving it a spin let me know.

The release date is set to Friday, September 30. 23:59 CET.
As I promised, end of September. This will give beta testers this week to find possible bugs.

Current testers please report anything you find as soon as possible. There is still time to become a beta tester, just mail me your email address and domain for test (can be localhost). Best testers will be awarded by a free license.

Thanks Emir!!!  ;D
Pushed SEF ADV for J1.7 through it's paces and it's really delivers.

I've tested it for compatability with :-
Jomsocial
J-Reviews
XMap
AJAX Search

All work on my side 100% with very little server impact.
