So having this major disdain for max version 2012, jumping right over it to 2013, have we got a beta to test? 
Almost. I got my first build for 2013 two days ago, so things are moving.
We had to ask Autodesk for a Hair&Fur SDK for 2013. We had to ask Sitni Sati for the FumeFX 3.0 SDK with 2013 support. We had to get the TP5 SDK.
All these take time, plus we had to deal with compiler changes, some Unicode issues, new installer, possibly rolling in all Genome advancements like Mesh Elements support, the new Magma Debugger code etc.
Stay tuned, we are working on it.
Sweet! It has just been a little too quiet, now I know why
Thanks for the heads-up, looking forward to it!
