We are releasing alpha versions internally fairly frequently - anything between 2 and 4 weeks between alpha versions. The last few versions have all turned up new bugs which we felt were important to fix before releasing to the public, so there has been an unexpectedly long delay since the last Technology Preview update.

Today a new build which we have high confidence in is being handed to the alpha testers. If there are no significant new bugs in this build we expect to release Technology Preview updates to pre-purchasers within the next few weeks. Users of the Free edition will receive an update shortly after that, but pre-purchases will have priority.

We are very close to an update. Tomorrow I will draw up a list of the changes that are in the next version so that you know we're not just sitting on our hands :)

Just because milk is white doesn't mean that clouds are made of milk.

Soft shadows should be included.

So this is Disney World.  Can we live here?

Well I admit soft shadows would be really cool, but why not totally demolish render times and add water transparency...my big hope, as well....LOL.. ...

Totally "demolishing" render times will have to wait, but it's coming. ;)

out of curiosity will we be able to have more control of crater placement later on?
The world is round... so you have to use spherical projection.

I'd be happy with a version that didn't crash every time I turn around.  :D

I wonder when we will get that list Matt was talking about.

I imagine it will be included in the zip file along with the update when it becomes available?  That's usually when we get it.

Will

thats true, I was kinda hoping to get it before. In other news I finally have worked up enough money though my summer job to get a registered version. Or hopefully I will after I fix this nasty litter registry corruption problem I have.
