I have sent out beta 5 to those who requested it.
I know of a few small issues but of nothing major.
I have only tested it on Joomla 1.0.13 php and mysql 4.
To sign up click see this thread

The final release will depend on:

• How many bugs are found.
• How long it takes me to finish removing old redundant code.
• How long it takes to get a database update script complete.
• How busy I am.

I would estimate it being about 90% complete.

Please see this for info on beta 5 see this thread

Update:

While I have not posted any news in a while, development has been going well and there has been some big changes.

I have changed the way in which categories are stored. Storing of categories has changed from the Adjacency List Model to The Nested Set Model, this change will make creating breadcrumbs and counting the number of reviews in a category a lot easier and quicker.

I have also changed the ways in how review and categories titles are stored. You can now add as many standard titles as you want and no longer have to use dynamic titles.

I have also been playing around with templating, no concrete changes on this yet though.

The only problem with these changes is that it makes upgrading a bit more difficult, so the next release is still a while away.

I have just released the 4th beta of Simple Review 2.0 as well as the 2.0 version of the Search Bot.
It fixes many of the bugs in the previous beta.
You can download it from the Project home page.
Please post any comments in the forum.
