Yesterday I released a beta4 but so many issues got fixed since that it's worth making this new beta. I'm starting to be really confident about this being used to build and package KDE 4.2 and KOffice 2.0, not only on Linux but also on Windows and Mac OSX. Just today we've been fixing a Mac OSX issue, several Windows issues, and a couple more generic problems. It's really good to have many users and I must say that in Eigen we're rather spoiled, our users are very active in helping tracking the bugs down -- probably that's the upside of a project being technical in nature.
The API should be 100% stable now -- except of course for the parts of Eigen that we're calling experimental. For the 2.0 release we'll just remove the deprecated stuff (so check your warnings NOW!).
In other news, the forum is very active already so I'm optimistic that we'll reach pretty soon the point where users start helping each other -- something I'm eagerly looking forward to! Like I expected, we're seeing a new group of users on this forum whom we didn't see on the mailing list. So it's great to reach new people. On the other hand there's the risk of balkanization if instead of one we get two disjoint Eigen communities -- that would be pretty bad! We'll see.
