Scott: You can't fault people. With the last few betas it seemed as if the original beta was quickly replaced with a follow-up interims release before the new features really worked reliably. (A common scenario was "oh, yeah, we know that's broken, go download the interims release".)
I understand that you don't want to post an updated list of known caveats with a beta because of the workload involved. May be this would address the concerns of your customers without slowing down your development efforts: The official "beta" link will contain the original "beta" .exe, until (in your opinion) there is another "good" interims release that should be used by every beta tester instead. Then that .exe will be found at the regular beta. This way, customers could safely download from the beta link, get the "best" code - and you could keep the "interims" code strictly for one-on-one situations.

The following is the header >from our email. This is exactly why there was such a big issue with interim releases last month. We only have a record of giving out the URL to the interim release to one of our customers. I just checked the stats for our web site, and it seems that 25 people have downloaded it. Perhaps next time, we'll need to come out with an interim release that does something creative to help people realize that interim releases are ONLY supposed to be downloaded when there is a specific feature or fix that is needed. -Scott --- Declude JunkMail: The advanced anti-spam solution for IMail mailservers.
