Whether it may be apparent or understood by many, or not, what RIT guys
are doing with this beta series is a _major_ (quite major) re-work or
re-design of TB. TB is quite a complex program in itself and it would be
quite difficult, almost impossible, to do such a big change as a whole
and all at once and then come out with a beta to discover and fix bugs.

They are doing this in "phases" or by "functionality blocks" (if I may
call it that way) even though some additions or changes may not be
apparent from the outside to most mortals. This explains why some new
betas may be seen as a "step backwards" from the outside because
"already fixed" bugs seem to appear again.

Have you seen <mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> from Gleason Pace?
I fully agree with him.

Having been in software development myself for over 25 years (not in the
last 10 or so though) I can say that I think RIT guys have taken the
safe path and are on the right track by doing what they are doing with
this beta series. Believe me, they are doing a great hard job.
