title: What is the state of WiX v4?
body: <p>I really feel like I shouldn't have to ask a question on SO to get basic information like this, but I can't find a reliable source anywhere.</p>
  
  <p>Is WiX v4 released? In Development? In Beta? Still being designed?</p>
  
  <p>Lots of people seem to already be using WiX v4, as evidenced by SO questions about it. And it has an official release page on the WiX site, without any mention of "Beta" or "Release Candidate", etc: <a href="http://wixtoolset.org/releases/v4-0-0-5205/" rel="noreferrer">http://wixtoolset.org/releases/v4-0-0-5205/</a></p>
  
  <p>However, there are no released versions for v4 on GitHub: <a href="https://github.com/wixtoolset/wix4/releases" rel="noreferrer">https://github.com/wixtoolset/wix4/releases</a></p>
  
  <p>And the Wix homepage still directs you to download v3.</p>
  
  <p>And one of the developer's blogs has a <a href="http://www.joyofsetup.com/2017/07/11/proposed-platform-support-in-wix-v4-0/" rel="noreferrer">recent post about v4</a> that uses future-tense language like "will have" and "should support".</p>
  
  <p>But worst of all, the <em>current version</em> of the WiX visual studio integration tools has templates for v4, which makes it seem like v4 is officially supported!</p>
  
  <p>And when you try to build one of these templates the build error is <code>The WiX Toolset v4 build tools must be installed ... To download WiX Toolset v4, see http://wixtoolset.org/releases/</code> despite the fact that <a href="http://wixtoolset.org/releases/" rel="noreferrer">http://wixtoolset.org/releases/</a> contains downloads exclusively for v3!</p>
  
  <p>This is a crazy amount of mixed messages.</p>
  
  <p>Is there something somewhere that says <strong>officially, definitively</strong> what state WiX v4 is in?</p>
