I would guess they put themselves in a tricky position :
- They’ve put a lot of time and effort into a new method editor that probably almost none of the existing customers really care about
- beta 1 is missing some of the key features that were advertised, mainly remote debug and better js grids, which makes it more an alpha version than a beta, there is probably a lot more work to do before shipping
- meanwhile the costumers (us) are as ever complaining about what they really care : we beg for more modern, responsive, consistent, fancy, groovy, top of the notch, animated gui controls, because that’s the only thing our clients ask for IRL !
So, if they need more time to do it, that’s ok with me, and i don’t mind if the efforts they put in the right direction causes some version numbering jumps.
Just 2 cents
