Haha. Okay, this never happened before; the whole thing got so complicated that I can't let 0.9z-7 go out to thousands to next find as many forum messages about problems. Well, maybe and hopefully not. So what I am looking for is 20 experienced XXHighEnd users who a. are willing to run into problems; b. are able to lay out in decent fashion to me what the problem is and this goes by email. Watch out : although you will be receiving the fully operating new 0.9z-7 it is NOT about the new functionalities in there. They work as they do and they may contain the quircks as I already know them. And otherwise this is for later. No, it is all about what is contained in these two "manual" links :Edit : Although it still will be about those two links in particular, by know I wouldn't know why we can't take along some first responses from you "beta testers" about the new functionalities, sound wise. So, most of the "manual" pages have been uploaded now, but in due time the last will. Demo version, Install notes and getting an Activation KeyHow to Activate 0.9z-7 and up
but in addition you may watch what happens at your side with this : Your First Startup of XXHighEnd although it won't be really your "first startup". What's mentioned in the first two links (about paying and such) will apply to you just the same. So please read in there what this is about, and act as you please (read and you will understand). It is all part of the "testing" and how the procedure will flow. Again, it is NOT about the new functionalitity and you just as well can take it that it is not there. That is, the pages written for it are not available to you yet, although the ToolTips may tell you enough to carefully try a few things. To this regard I beg you to not ask questions about any new functionality you want to try because I really can't spend time on that (now); all will be in the Manual Section of the forum by the time we officially release 0.9z-7. It is not allowed to copy -whatever it is you receive- to others. Please. It is also not allowed or better, useful, to post anything on the forum what should be communicated through email; I mean the bugs or other negatives. It is allowed though to shout out a few things when you like them much. Let's call that teasers. Do not hesitate to anounce yourself after you've seen 20 people "subscribing", because it will be me who decides who can apply. So, nobody is forced to to this, but I really like to pick those of whom I think they can be the most helpful. And please don't be disappointed when you are not a chosen one. As a reference to this maybe strange post I want to point out that normally I take 2-3 months to come up with a new version, while this time it is 2-3 months ago by now that I thought that "next week" 0.9z-7 would be ready. And that went on for all those weeks again and again. So that bad it is and I really don't like to run into something pressing like this again. Anyway, while today I think 0.9z-7 is ready, I'm really having the shivers at thinking what can all go wrong and to how many people it may apply. In the mean time I have been dying of not being able to share what I have here for such a long time already. No, this can't happen again. At the time of this writing I still have to apply the last preparations and anticipate that I won't be able to come up with a response today, and maybe not even tomorrow (tomorrow I will be out anyway, so notice that *if* I manage before I'm out to hand over something, I won't be there to respond. Oh, did I tell you ? it is my aim do have all running by the end of next weekend for the public. Thanks a lot everybody ! Peter PS: Apply in this topic please !

Hi Peter, in the manual part 00b (first link) the second picture does not mention Continue at the mouse pointer(as it says in the text) but Activate, just like the first picture on that page. So that is either a mistake on your side or I have just disqualified myself as a tester fingers crossed here! Leo
