Beta versions have gone through alpha testing in-house and are generally fairly close in look, feel and function to the final product; however, design changes often occur as part of the process. 3 will be released in the hours following today’s weekly dev meeting, which is at March 9, 2016 at 1pm PST.

There are currently 72 tickets in the milestone remaining. This is great movement from last week (thanks!), but before the release of Beta 3, I’d like to see this down to 50.
