Nightly builds have been available throughout development, and there have been numerous requests for testers. The fact is, people don't really test it and try it out with their existing apps until a full release. In practice, the .1 version of any new release is effectively a release candidate. Usually bugs are found and fixed quickly, and .2, .3, .4, etc. come within a few days, stabilizing fairly quickly. Anthony --
