I am pleased to announce the immediate availability of an informal beta release of the second generation of the EPIC4 software. Why is it informal, you may ask? All formal EPIC software releases go through the extensive peer review afforded by the "call for votes of confidence" procedure, and this beta release has not undergone this review, so it is not a formal release. This is, however, a release candidate (yay!). You have seven days to test this release candidate (plus any amendments, which will be announced to the list as they are made official). On December 8th, 2003, I will submit a Call for Votes of Confidence in EPIC4-1.2.0 (as amended, if necessary). More details of this will be forthcoming. If you have been waiting for a production-quality beta release of the epic software, this is it. If all goes well, we should have a formal production release of EPIC4-2.0 by December 15th. There are no major changes expected before EPIC4-2.0 -- no new features of any kind will be added, just bug fixes.
