Will the next Presto update contain the features of the Orcad legacy pcb tool?

DG202504226528

I'm at a loss in Presto.  It's like 1/10 the tool that the legacy one is it seems.  Did I just waste all my time learning Presto when you can't even seem to do a whole design without having to load up the legacy tool all the time to do simple things?  

I'd like to know what will be updated in Presto.  Does anyone have a list?  Should I just ditch Presto and learn the legacy tool properly?   Trying to do a proper design with blind and buried vias, BGAs, 10-12 layers is virtually impossible with Presto.  Tool crashes at least 2x a day.  Can't even sync with the schematic most times and need to use the legacy even for that Disappointed

Anyone have a list of new features coming down the road???

Also... to anyone that uses the legacy tool.  How does it compare to the Allegro tool?  I come from a background of using Expedition for 10 years and Altium designer for 15.

Just wondering what I should waste my time on learning... thanks all.
