I don't see how that is, you've practically got yourself a complete Javascript
1.3 implementation, a better-than-IE incremental layout engine (i.e. it
incrementally layouts better than IE :) and ongoing support from the developers.
Backwards? Would you rather Olli stuck with the 3.2 engine and spent 3 days
fixing the most minor bugs only to bring more up from the depths? Or would
you rather have the rewrite, where a silly little bug gets blitzed in an instant,
and has no lasting side-effects?

Which ones, specifically, in this release?

Unless you're paying someone's wages monthly, I wouldn't consider you
worthy of any support. Buying software is not a support contract in
itself.

Are you blind, then?
I'll tell you what, mail me EVERY bug you think you have, and how you
manage to reproduce them, and I'll mark them up for you and/or see if
we already "know" about them. We'll see how much you have to
complain about..
