no, that was last summer. if anything needs to be known about a software, an official website with actual information would be a good starting point.
anyways – lets not spoil Redshift’s thread with talk about other software.

Smoke and mirrors? Semantics? Perhaps – but not to the producer who had to make the decision on purchasing.

Arnold is NOT in beta. I had more to say about this subject but it's not the place for that. I'm really curious what the Redshift guys are able to deliver for a production environment. I'll keep an eye on this for sure! On Fri, Mar 15, 2013 at 10:10 PM, Steven Caron <car...@gmail.com> wrote: arnold is NOT in beta... but your point about market success is made.
