I think 1.1 and 2.0 are the same thing... but there was so much "feature creap" that it just didn't seem right to call it 1.1 when it was a complete re-write of the emplode code...

BUT, I fully trust and respect the programers and alpha testers. And if they say it isn't ready - I can live with that! I'm not even bitter about loosing all of those files from the cut and paste bug. I downloaded beta software and assume the risks associated with it.

I'm guessing that if they already know of what needs to be worked on, there is no point making it a public release only to get flooded with emails and posts about issues they are already aware of. It would just slow down the development process. Again, this is only a guess, I've never been involved in software development (I was an alpha testor for inline skating socks back when I use to skate for Rollerblade ) so this is only based on what I have picked up from this board.

I'm personally not sure since I am not part of the alpha team. All we can go on is Rob's (from empeg) comment above of:

Beta 9 is with the alpha team now, and their findings over the weekend will pretty much determine a release early next week. It works pretty well for me.

Also Tony Fabris has been a pretty good source of "leaked" info on the alphas, just look for some of his posts to gauge when the next public beta may appear. Keep in mind though that noone has an exact date, since many things could occur (show stopping bugs, attention needed on other products, etc...)

And to SE_Sport_Driver, 1.1 is the same as 2.0. (I should have probably made that a bit clearer above). Basicially the alpha team saw a few releases of 1.1 before they renamed it 2.0. 1.1 was shown at the USA owners meet in March, and I think as far back as the European meet before it. Most alpha testers moved back to 1.03 though, since they helped test the tuners and the software for it.

I don't believe I have yet leaked anything they didn't want leaked.

Rob, if I do otherwise, I assume you'll tell me right away, right?

Greetings!

I don't see what the big deal about leaking is... The kernel source tree for b8 is right on the hijack site...

I don't believe so either, you just tend to be the main alpha tester to report about anything show stopping here.

The release today is to the alpha team. It is expected that the same release will go public tomorrow, all being well.
