LTJBukem enthusiast Registered: 18/07/2001 Posts: 299	Having just ordered my player i'm getting excited now. The player will arrive with an old version of the code. But when will b3 become an official release of the software ? How close are they to getting everything viertually bug free ? LTJ _________________________ LTJ

tonyc carpal tunnel Registered: 27/06/1999 Posts: 7058 Loc: Pittsburgh, PA	Some of the more "plugged in" members of the community may have more info, but my hunch is that we will see one more, potentially shorter beta period before we get a "2.0 final." I have no idea when this new beta may arrive, but it seems to me that we're at the stage where another beta release will be needed to make sure it's "consumer-grade" code. I think there have been very few people who have upgraded and then went back to 1.03, so the betas are definitely usable. It's just a matter of getting little kinks out, and if I was managing the project, I'd squeeze out another beta before reaching "release candidate" status. _________________________ - Tony C my empeg stuff

rob carpal tunnel Registered: 21/05/1999 Posts: 5335 Loc: Cambridge UK	I think it'll take rather more than one more beta (which we're releasing to the alpha team today). Existing stock will not be preloaded with new software in any case. Rob
