you've been using it for years, it has gone through 186 alpha versions |
| 13 |
and before that just over 100 pre versions. You never had a problem with |
| 14 |
it. Neither has anyone else really. |

Just pretend that "alpha" isn't in the name and it isn't masked - |

effectively that is actual status - last I heard from Zac there is one |
| 20 |
or two odd edge cases that still aren't 100% right, but few people ever |
| 21 |
run into them. You are highly unlikely to be one of those few people. |
