Slau,
I am checking my facts. You are the only public source of information,
and no one has told you if anything will be included in the commercial
release.
So let's keep this simple then.
has a commercial release been issued?
second, if so, then why have you not been told if these changes were
included?
Given all the energy behind this, and the potential for those involved pr
wise, it should not have to be speculated, unless of course there is no
commercial release as of yet.
If such is the case, they will not confirm until after it is likely on the
shelves or something lol.
If there is no official release, then when do you anticipate when this will
be?
If you do not know this, then who does?

from a journalist's stance of course.

Karen,
First, please call me Slau.
Second, Digidesign never guarantees that anything in a beta will appear in the
final release. Now, listen carefully: I have no reason to believe the changes
were not implemented. I have every reason to believe they are. All I said was
that, until someone confirms it with the commercial release of 8.0.4, we can't
say with absolute certainty that everything is as we've expected. What did you
learn as a journalist? Check your facts. That's all I'm suggesting. Once again,
all I'm saying is that we're talking as if it's a done deal but I have yet to
hear that someone has installed 8.0.4.

Jerry,
A beta release as you just noted, is *not* a commercial release. to my mind
commercial releases are official.
If digi backs this, then why have they not told you, firmly, that the changes
exist?

Karen,
I'm not sure what you mean by "official release." Of course, it's officially a
Pro Tools release. If you mean, whether it has the changes implemented in the beta,
again, I don't mean to alarm anyone but I have yet to hear of someone downloading the
update, installing it and confirming the changes. I'm cautiously optimistic.
Anyone? Just asking again. If I have a chance on Monday, I'll try to confirm.

It's not a dumb question at all. Here's a very important thing to note. While
the accessibility improvements were clearly featured in the beta release of
8.0.4 HD, LE and M-Powered. Until someone actually confirms it with the
commercial release, there's no way to guarantee it. By all means, we're all
quite confident that the improvements were implemented but I have yet to hear
from anyone that they've downloaded and installed the commercial version. I'm
still on the beta and have not yet gotten around to doing the upgrade. Has
anyone else?
This may sound like an extremely improbable thing but, it's possible that
things might've changed before the release. That's why most companies ask
testers not to talk about beta versions. In case something happens and a
feature must be shelved until a future release, they don't want people to have
expectations.
Again, not to alarm anyone but, frankly, I haven't heard of anyone installing
the commercial version yet. Anyone? I personally won't have a chance to upgrade
my HD system until a week from now, at best.
