Sigh! Unfortunately, I've put my Mac aside for a PC. Just too many problems getting the things I need to run on the Mac. It's still there, but it's soooooooooooooo slow.

Don't know - all I can go on is the newsletter from last week, and that said 'any day now, if it isn't already'.
I guess it has been delayed by a day or so.
Hope it is out soon, as I need to start hacking it

how is it decided how many beta versions there are?
like, why 6.5b6 and not simply 6.5 (since 6.51 will surely be in the works immediately) ?

It goes round and round in beta versions until it's bug free enough for public relase. There's no pre-determined number, it depends on how bug reports go.

yah, when the huge forums begin updating, you really want the most bugs squashed as possible

I hate to ask this question again, but how long until we are out of beta? My forums are crawling, but if it's not long I can wait... if it is I'll move to 6.41 as that might help me...

I'll give the official statement:
"When its ready"
Now, to expand on that. We already know that there is going to be a b5. There are quiet a few bugs that popped up and are squashed in b5. Will there be a b6? That depends on many many bugs pop up in b5. B4 has been out for a while, and there are already a lot of things that have been marked as fixed in the b5 release. Since they haven't released b5 yet, I believe that they are really trying to make b5 the last beta. But, again, it all depends on how many bugs pop up in b5.

b5 has come and gone, actually. b6 is what is supposed to be released, though it might end up being b7 instead.

Well, my info(what I can download) still says we are at b4. Not all of us are a part of the inner circle. I guess its time to hire some spies.

Just to mention a bug I found in beta 4:
The free prefix for the cookies don't work:
The effect we found was:
- a session cookie that could not be deleted when deleting cookies in the personal prefs.
- forum language set in personal prefs was forgotten on some pages.
- And something weired:
Situation was: Changing the BIO caused an error "too long":
that was ok. But when going back (history back in the browser), shortening the bio and submitting the bio again, there was an alert "referrer or cookie problem..." something like that. That was a "false error" probably in connection with the cookie problem...
