We will post a summary listing of new features and fixes at the time the
product is released for external test. It is right now in internal test,
with development (ie new things) essentially frozen. We have taken some
extra time to add performance enhancements beyond those originally
intended, and are now doing multiple cycles of regression testing against
a library of some 800 games and programs, as well as "try to break it"
type testing.
