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.

still, sitoa isn't beta anymore. peter, that was years ago when you started 
evaluation, right?


it needs to be known that the reason it's not distributed widely isn't because 
arnold or sitoa is beta software. it's because they can't support everyone that 
wants access at this time. so no reason to make an announcement about lifting 
the beta tag. the sitoa list isn't called the beta list by its users or 
moderators anymore.


sorry for derailing nic's thread.

  fair enough – I was indeed referring to SItoA and MtoA , not Arnold

    well, I had to join a betalist to get info and test it, downloadables were 
called beta, and so was the quote (afaik – it wasn’t adressed to me) – I was 
under the impression that it is still beta, because that’s what it said on the 
surface.
    Smoke and mirrors? Semantics?
    Perhaps – but not to the producer who had to make the decision on 
purchasing.

    I have to back up Steven. 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!
