Hello Jay,

Next  beta  serie.  Slow and hanging search (even in non-OTFE mode) is
one of the major objectives.

JW> As I see it, this "clarification" is so vague as to make the initial

Well,  as  I  said before, it is very interesting question: idealistic
position  is  to  wait your approval, realistic position is to release
when  we  need. And, as I said before, we have no fixed date releases.
This time we moved balance to the "our needs" side, next time it could
be on your side.

Note: no promises

JW> The  main  question  I  have now is only how much value to give to
JW> your  "number  5"  feature list - especially as I remain concerned
JW> about the search engine problem when moving from Non-OTFE to OTFE.

"Number  5" (and any other) doesn't contain any fixed feature list, it
reflects that version contains modified (or new) features comparing to
previous  number.  While 1 (from .51) means there is no major finished
changes, it is just the same more stable .50

JW> And, last but not least, can RL give assurance that we can use 3.51.10
JW> without worrying about the message content distortion and loss issues
JW> that were reported in the early releases of 3.51?

Yes, if you mean disappearing symbols from MicroEd
