I strongly suspect it will still be this year, it will just be more of a Christmas release than a Summer one.
The bigger question is will next year be about the macroscopic editor or multicellular. On the one hand, the macroscopic editor will bring a lot more people in. On the other hand, not only do you have to pass through multicellular to get to it, but certain changes to multicellular will likely effect macroscopic, meaning that, while doing macroscopic first would likely bring much needed resources in sooner, it would also lead to possibly doing more work (edit macroscopic, edit multicellular, realize that broke macroscopic and reedit it), but also dealing with a lot more complaints (since multicellular would still be unfinished).
It might be worth it, but hopefully 1.0 will at least pull in the resources needed to spend a year on multicellular to finish the better part of this list and a handful of other things (most notably fixing the math for turning and adding options to the Reproduction Tab that currently just has Budding).
