|
9 |
|
that, old features were tweaked and some build issues and bugs were resolved. |
|
10 |
|
New Win32 single-executable (no DLLs) package appears first time with this |
|
11 |
|
release, Win64 package might also be available a bit later. |
|
12 |

|
The beta stage will last about two weeks. In case any serious bugs are found |

during this period, another beta version might be released. |
