Extra additions:

New URL Options. We've expanded the Safe URL option to now also provide support for extension-less files, e.g. http://host/product/25/, and also have the system add in the product or section name to the end, e.g. http://host/product/19/T_Shirt. In addition both Safe URLs and normal URLs can have the section ID removed from product links as has been requested
If you make your store unavailable you can provide a list of IP addresses that will still be allowed to view the store
Safari support removed. Unfortuantely Safari support is no longer possible in the admin system due to a lack of support for several new changes. Most noteably this is because of the WYSIWYG editor. We could not find a WYSIWYG editor that would work in Safari, simply because Safari does not have the support for the techniques required. Firefox on the Mac has been tested thorougly, however, and works correctly.
Reset button added for users online maximums.

Regarding the Beta release date. We are moving this back by 2 weeks, until the 14th Feb 2005. If we can release the Beta before then, we will, however we still have some extra options and tidying up to do on the code, plus work still to do on the documentation and new default templates. In addition we are working on making the system compatible with mySQL 5. mySQL 5 validates SQL queries that utilize JOINS in a different way to previous versions and this has caused several problems in the system. As mySQL 5 will become more common through the 6 month life-span of this next update, we need to address this now.
