Yes, things have slipped a little bit.  It turns out that the T3 does some
very unusual things as far as screen/form update frequencies and there were
a few additional problems discovered but we have those all fixed.  Then I
discovered there is a beta T5 simulator available and so I downloaded it and
found a few other small things I want to get fixed first to make sure
EVERYBODY can use the new release with no (big) problems.  There is also a
late-arrival conduit issue which I need to resolve also before release.  Let
me assure you that new device support (except no use of color yet) is
E*X*C*E*L*L*E*N*T in 3.0!  You will be very pleased.  I expect to release in
a few days....

I am very sorry for the delay but, as it is frequently with software, it
could only be avoided by releasing software that I *knew* had problems and,
obviously, I am *loathe* to do that!

Maybe some of the beta testers will chime in and give you some feeling of
how things are shaping up and their reactions to the improvements.  In the
meantime, here are the latest relnotes...
