Feature wise, there is quite a bit that has been enhanced, cleaned up, and otherwise smoothed the edges. Enhanced season pass manager, wishlists, improved suggestion lists... It's supposed to be QUITE impressive.

As far as the 48hrs goes.... There is the final Release candidate that is being released to the AVS forum members that want it, on a 250-150 person sweep every 48 hours. The details and signup sheet are in the Coffee house on the AVS forum.

All in all, I'm just overly excited to be getting both upgrades in such a small timeframe (now that it appears that 1.1 is released in Alpha). Perhaps TOO excited as this thread is turning out.
