Still be marketed. Still being sold in the App Store.

I’d also note that at the bottom of the page it mentions Photos coming early next year in Yosemite and then links to iOS8 version.
https://www.apple.com/osx/preview/apps/

There’s apparently going to be a months long span between Photos in iOS 8 and whatever they do for the Yosemite version.

So if you want to step up from iPhoto you have to buy a dead app or wait more than 6 months… but it’s not EOL on the Apple site.

From Macworld

The Photos app, previewed at the 2014 Worldwide Developers Conference, will become the company’s main photographic focus for both professionals and consumers. As it grows, Apple intends the single app to serve the needs of both consumers and professionals.

In the Macworld article:

“The Photos app, previewed at the 2014 Worldwide Developers Conference, will become the company’s main photographic focus for both professionals and consumers. As it grows, Apple intends the single app to serve the needs of both consumers and professionals. (That will be an interesting challenge; it will be intriguing to see how Apple puts all of its photographic eggs in a single basket.)”

So there’s the “as it grows” caveat.

“While Aperture development (beyond minor updates to ensure OS X Yosemite compatibility) will cease”

So one might guess that iPhoto and Aperture will maintain Yosemite compatibility through some transition period.

BTW one can still buy Aperture and iPhoto in the app store.

Looks like some small feature improvements although they can be important.
Looks like this was another round of under the hood work.

[Craig Seeman]

Compressor 4.1.2 just released.
One of the fixes listed is Send To Compressor from Motion.
Motion 5.1.1 is released.

[Craig Seeman]

FCPX 10.1.2 is OUT, Motion 5.1.1, Compressor 4.1.2

But… but… it’s a FRIDAY (features usually happens on Tuesday)

[Craig Seeman]

I had a hunch that Photos was going to replace both iPhoto and Aperture given what they demo’s.
I do hope it isn’t a reduced feature set overall though.
