I am going to continue to play bad guy and blame most of it on AC. It is not all good. And, I think we are all adult enough to debate things. Maybe next time when AC releases a private beta, they will do it right or those with the beta can keep it secret. For the most part the only time one should hear about the new version is when it is released.
The beta was handled wrong. Given the circumstances of the last four months or so, this release should have been posted. And, with one fix only. The script writer. Please tell me what good the beta was.
I think Jon and AC are tired of buggy software. I think they want to get this release up. But, if 200 beta testers received emails, then 40 would report back (the average is 1 in 5) that the script writer is flawless. This makes it much easier for Jon to release the upgrade with less anxiety.
