One of the best things I ever did with Behold was deciding to release it in alpha version, rather than waiting until features are all complete and waiting for the beta. I have been getting many great observations and comments by many people on very important things I would have missed.

Today I found out that the Help file is not connected (I made a silly deletion I hadn’t noticed) and that Behold cannot currently show extended accented characters. I’m adding these into the things to do for this release as they are both very important. For the characters, I may have to change the default font used, as MS Sans Serif doesn’t support them.

I’m changing the designation of the next release from 0.91.1 to 0.92 as there is enough significant stuff in it to merit that. I’ll renumber the other future planned releases to accomodate this. I don’t mind the “apparent” delay in this release because at this stage, these changes are all important before I let others know about Behold. So far its been a fairly closed group who have downloaded Behold - mostly you people who read this blog and some others who have wandered by since Behold became available: about 40 of you so far.

Thanks to you all and the motivation you are all giving me is fantastic. Keep those comments coming!
