Thanks to everyone for the many bug reports submitted. We had received hundreds of bug reports and nearly as many feature requests :).

The good news is that all the known, reproducible crash bugs have been fixed and we have made great progress fixing many of the less severe bugs.  Of course with a project as large and as flexible as Trainz, if we waited until every single bug was fixed, we would never get to release the game. Therefore we’ve been prioritizing which bugs will be fixed prior to the Gold Master release and which bugs will be fixed in the upcoming Service Pack or future releases.

Yesterday we released Beta 2 which we are considering as a “Gold Master Candidate”. Those of you who have been most active in the TrainzDev community or in submitting bug reports will have received and email with download instructions. The Beta 2 build includes all the major fixes to date and is an update on the version you are currently using in Beta 1. Only new “showstopper” or crash bugs will be fixed in this version prior to the official Gold Master release build which we are planning for next week.
