The beta list was muchmore active during the 3.0 beta. Wasn't the beta trial for v3 longer than v4also?Just went to the beta list archive to answer my own question: v3 betastarted mid June 98 and v3 gold was released 9/30/98: 3.5 months. v4 betastarted end of April 00 and (according the sales dept.) v4 will be releasednext week: 1.5 months.One possible reason for the lack of intensive testing might be that v3 hadbadly needed tags: SQL, [!], [UnURL], [Text], [ListWords], [CountWords],[WaitForFile], Triggers, [TCPConnect], [TCPSend], [Middle], [Spawn].They were so essential that nobody was asking for money to test them (notsure about Ken though :).I wouldn't think of doing a commerce site without most of these tags now.V4 also has nice new features but they feel more like improvements.We haven't had time to test v4 yet, (not even the new Unix permissions :)but we intend to do so in June.What about giving some more time before going gold?Clem.#############################################################This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .To unsubscribe, E-mail to: To switch to the DIGEST mode, E-mail to To switch to the INDEX mode, E-mail to Send administrative queries to Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
