Hi all,

We can now say we will release tomorrow the next pre 2.3 testing update.
This version will be nearly comparable to beta 2.2b in terms of stability.

We've squashed many bugs and made a lot of advancements, brecht joining the team has nearly doubled our development power.

We've thrown out supersampling, no 4x or 16x more memory for film use just for getting rid of aliasing, but we've added a radically new filter system that works on all cards (even 8000 series), with no performance impact at all, with width control, and beautifull, alias free output.

Add to that many bugfixes (most medium to serious bugs) and a massive improvement in area light control/user friendlyness and quality.
