I beg to differ, none of the "Arabeyes people" (us plague stricken folk)
said anything in that regard.  It was released initially with 'yyyymmdd'
and it was discussed by both you and Mr. Alkarouri as an 'alpha',

among other posts.

The 0505 release was simply a continuation of the pre-announced alpha
or so I at least thought (the numbering certainly leads one to believe
that).

All I'm after is a 0.1 release - not sure what the big deal is especially
now with Behdad's comment that it already should have been a 0.1 release.

Salam.
