What does "Beta" mean? Beta means that this set of zip files could become the next official release, if we don't find any bugs in it that warrant fixing. We expect it to work, but we don't *know* that it will work, and would feel better if it were tested more completely. We expect this version to be complete and fully functional, at least for the functionality that we expect to be there. It also means that, until the official release, I'm not applying any more features or additions to the code. The only changes from here to the release will be bug fixes, specifically those that are significant enough to warrant holding up a release. It also means that we need as many people as possible to test it, to make sure that there aren't any major bugs hidden in it. At least, no *new* bugs :-) Please download these zips (or at least the djdev202.zip one) and try it out on your projects and systems, and report bugs back to us. If there are no major problems in the next, oh, few weeks or so, I'll make it an official release! DJ
