Def: beta test - The final stage in the testing of new software before its commercial release, conducted by testers other than its developers.

I do not understand why threads like this keeps creeping up in the forum, asking for a "new" this and "new" that in beta phase. I am not saying input isn't welcome, but proper timing for these things does matter.

It is too late to be asking SE to make a new UI interface at this point. There may be bug fixes or changes to how things may work, but do not hold your breath and expect whatever your feedback is during beta to be implemented by release time.

Right now, we need to focus on getting ARR's show stopper bugs out of the way so we can have a decent release in a few months. New features can be discussed after release.
