They still haven't updated their Pro version of this app in over 2 years. It is still on 1.2.0m with known bugs.

In more related news.. Retrospect is said to be working on a brand new version of their mac products (finally). http://www.macobserver.com/article/2008/01/22.11.shtml

Just an FYI, TOLIS Group has released v1.3.3.
BRU LE v1.3.3 was released on 3/17/08: http://knowledgebase.tolisgroup.com/?View=entry&EntryID=147.

As for the new Retrospect version, you aren't talking about the client app that they released at MacWorld are you? That was the version believed to have been a new Retrospect itself when in reality it was just an updated client version that supported Leopard for the Windows Server version of Retrospect.
