Just read the press release for Metz Mecablitz 26 AF-1 new flash for compacts and CSC's. What are the chances that it may work with the Sigma Merrills (other than wishful thinking)?
 
I can't answer this question, but I have a the predecessor of the Metz 24 AF-1 which works perfectly. As a big plus with this one you can point the flash to the ceiling as well.
 
There is some more info about the older version of the flash I mentioned here . Also, there is definitely some info on this forum about it.
 
The article that you have mentioned refers to Metz 20 C-2 that works with any Sigma cameras with central contact on the hot shoe (x-synchronization) and on the basis of this is, I think, is an universal flashgun.

The Metz 24 AF1 don't work in that way, it is like Kendall says that we must choose the Canon version of this flashgun?

Target5,

It should be possible to use any flashgun, except the older high voltage ones, on Sigma or any camera in manual or auto modes. You will get TTL only with Sigma flashguns.

Metz 20 C-2 is a universal flash that I've used with all three generations of DP2 (original, Merrill, Quattro). With Quattro you will want to turn off the exposure preview in the main menu (requires updated firmware) so that you can frame correctly.

The semi-auto mode makes it easy to use even without TTL and the bounce capability makes it a better choice than the new Metz 26 AF-1 IMHO.
