STATUS of next beta

[Erik Mueller-Harder]

Thanks for the update, Ruslan.  Sounds like it should be a great 
release!

We could each correct these for ourselves, of course, but it will be 
nice to have them "officially" fixed.  Thanks!

It's always good to be up-to-date, of course.  Just curious, though:  
are there any specific benefits or differences we should be on the 
lookout for?

Oh, I'm very much looking forward to testing these.  Great!!

Just out of curiouslity, has any progress been made vis a vis the 
truncation of modified VarChar fields?  (I reported this on Sept. 
20th.)

Many thanks, Ruslan!
