Happy Thursday!
Thanks for all of the feedback you’ve provided in the 3.9 Open Beta, and the surveys that you’ve filled out[www.surveymonkey.com]. We greatly appreciate the opportunity to get your eyes on things early, and it gives us a chance to see how you’re using certain things and tweak them before the actual release. As always, things in the beta are subject to change before release, and some things in there are still placeholders.
We’ve been polishing it and chiseling away at the various issues you’ve found, and are updating it today with some additional changes, and have opened up a new survey for additional feedback[www.surveymonkey.com]. (So any of you that filled out the first one will be able to respond to the changes.)
