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.
