1. will the online db be optional? I don't particularly want to have to wade through 50k materials that are all just microscopically different from another, I'd just like to share my own presets between my own machines.. While I like the idea, currently its painful to download the macros (10-15 seconds a pop, which is forever in application time) and I can guarantee that someone will upload a billion "chrome" settings, just because they "can"
2. What user information is stored on your servers? I thought that we were only going to need a connection for the license, not for preferences.
On a side note, I think this new release is a great start in the rendering dept, bugs or not (I had no issues rendering other than the exporters not working correctly, and the emitters just needing to be reloaded to be renderable)
cant wait for next build

cheers
