I have just passed  Salesforce Certified Force.com Advanced Developer - Multiple Choice (SU15) exam.
I would like to obtain Salesforce Certified Force.com Advanced Developer credential.

However, I cannot find any informations about the programming assignment schedule.

This link http://certification.salesforce.com/developers says that

Programming Assignment Schedule

Update: We are improving the Advanced Developer program. Stay tuned for details coming this summer!

The programming assignment is available on a quarterly basis according to the schedule listed below. Eligible candidates can register for the programming assignment and essay exam in Webassessor according to the schedule below. Registration priority is given to candidates who have not yet had an opportunity to register for the programming assignment and essay exam and registration eligibility is based on the completion date of the multiple choice exam or the last attempt of the programming assignment and essay exam. Please see the registration policy  for additional information. 

We recommend that candidates allocate a minimum of 20 hours to complete the programming assignment within the window outlined. Exam results will be distributed 6-8 weeks following the assignment due date.

NOTE: Exam dates are subject to change at the discretion of salesforce.com.

I can find programming assignment schedule in webaccessor, but actually there is no such information there.

If I open the link http://certification.force.com/pkb/articles/Public_KB/Registration-Policy-for-the-Certified-Force-com-Advanced-Developer-Programming-Assignment-and-Essay-Exam/

it says that

The programming assignment schedule will be communicated and published in April 2015 on the certification website at:http://certification.salesforce.com/schedules#completing-programming-assignment. 

However, when I open that link http://certification.salesforce.com/schedules#completing-programming-assignment it says again that

Programming Assignment Schedule

Update: We are improving the Advanced Developer program. Stay tuned for details coming this summer!


What does it mean?
Does it mean that I will have no chance to obtain Salesforce Certified Force.com Advanced Developer credential since they are closing this credential and provide only Platform Developer II credential?

Or does it mean that I just have to wait some time and they will give opportunity to still obtain Salesforce Certified Force.com Advanced Developer credential even though they say

 

Please note: Effective September 14, 2015, we will no longer be offering this credential to new applicants. We recommend for individuals interested in this credential to consider pursuing the Salesforce Certified App Builder and/or Salesforce Certified Platform Developer I and II credentials.


If I have passed Salesforce Certified Force.com Advanced Developer - Multiple Choice (SU15) before Sep 14th does that mean that I am a new applicant and I will have no change to obtain Salesforce Certified Force.com Advanced Developer credentail or it means that I am an old applicant and I could receive that credential?

Please explain who understands these policies.
