This is something you may have been wondering for a while. Basically most of the stuff was done when at the proposed release date(s). To make this clear: Not everything said on the roadmap went into this release, but there for also some other stuff… What you all do not know is that there was an additional task on the internal roadmap, something like "Make this the best release ever". To be honest when I first read that, I thought it was something general, which would not affect the release too much, because you always want to do the best you can. Though after I had been forced pause my activities, due a provider change which caused having no internet, I recognized that this time it was meant honestly. Two weeks had passed without any new fancy new features or additions. BUT: The workflow had been improved dramatically as well as many bugs had been fixed. Right now there are some rare things left on the bug list, but I think you won't notice them. Though of course many improvements will follow and we are still thankful for every bug report. J
[Now I am asking myself if I should go over the improvements or bug fixes now and I just decided no, because it is impossible to create such a big list]
So, just get your copy of the Beta soon and experience these improvements yourself. As always if you have question leave a note or post on the forums.
