A little help needed from registered WeBuilder users.
WeBuilder 2008 Beta 1 is made available to registered users. To get the download link, please use the following web link: http://www.blumentals.net/support/lostkey.php
Please note that this version is for testing only and it does expire. This is a debug version, if an error is detected, it will let you send us an error report. Rest assured, Beta 1 will contain bugs and each bug found is a success if you report it to us.
IMPORTANT NOTES
* Beta will be only available for the WeBuilder, other products will come as production releases only.
* Please DO report ONLY bugs, errors and obvious misbehavior (send these to us).
* Please DO NOT report missing features or ask "why my suggestion was not included" (read on for an answer).
* Please DO NOT inquire and ask questions about what is going to come in the full final version or how each exact feature will work. We have very limited resources and support staff is overloaded already, so please give us a bit more time and you will be able to see for yourself.
* Please DO NOT report silly things such as "i do not like the new icon" or "the previous installer was prettier"

I know, I know, it is a bit late and as always, we will not manage to release the new final version on time, but I hope it will be well worth the waiting.
I am leaving for a vacation until March 25, Gatis will try to handle tech support while I am away. We will resume the finalization of version 2008 in April you should be able to have the final release by the end of April.
Thanks!
