The bug fixing programme already started - I believe there are still funds to support bug fixing so those interested should register with Andreas (who can also confirm if there are still funds available). Agreed it will be good to step it up over this month as we ramp up to release.

Sure if it is corrupting your data or what have you it should be held back.

-1 from me for this. I think this is really going to screw around with Jürgen’s workflow - lets try to minimise churn and just slot into the standard workflows as much as possible.
