Hi Frank. All these new features are very welcome. Nice to see that 
Oracle will keep developing  this product. I have two questions:

1. There is any roadmap of when this version will hit a final release?
2. Will you guys add this beta version on the Ubuntu, Fedora and all the 
other repos as a alternate package?

Tks in advance.
