Yes. By TB users.

So far, all of them are free. However, the download sites seem to be
all over the place, they are not centralised at Ritlabs, because they
are all still in beta status (the way I undersand it).

No. A new filtering system has been promised for the next Christmas

Yes. The maintainance center does 4 things for all accounts:

Check integrity
Kill dupes
Purge
Compress

You can except accounts and/or specific folders folders from the

is worth it. ;-)

The old plaintext editor still exists and hasn't been changed. There
is an additional HTML editor, which I don't use.

The special discount will expire. IMHO the current discounted price
is a bargain, since your initial purchase is so long ago.
