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.

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. ;)

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.

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.
