Discontinued, all current Actel programmers.

I happen to have FlashProLite (for ProAsic+), FlashPro3 (newer and better than Lite but incapable of programming the ProAsic+). Now both of them are discontinued with FlashPro4 replacing everything. Ok, the new thing is set to be at low price 45$ and backwards compatible, so well time to buy another programmer?

There was a small print in the news also: "for future families" so it maybe Actel has something ready to be announced some new family. Hm its about time too :)

Wanted to clarify Antti's comments so we don't scare anyone.
Your existing programmers will continue to work, the software will continue to support all the previous programmers. It is just that your next programmer when you go buy one should be the new improved FlashPro4. Not to mention we are saving you lots of money with the new one.
The FlashPro Lite will continue since the new programmer does not support ProASICplus. the new programmer is for the third generation actel parts and beyond. Which is ProASIC3, IGLOO, Fusion and ... well I can't talk about that one yet.
