Is 2.0 a beta ?
At this point official no.
To the newsgroup: But from a USERS standpoint, a definite "YES"! :-(
Speaking as someone who had *no* problems at all, whose migration went
flawlessly (despite having a somewhat complex mail setup) and who now
enjoys a lot of stuff that simply wasn't available for the old version,
I have to disagree.
No software *ever* hits the public in a perfect form. Bugs *will* be
found. But calling it a "beta" because of it... well, by that logic,
*all* software is beta.
when we see so much complains .... it would be better to maintain the
beta status some time longer ...
I strongly disagree.
They went through, I think 3 RC's. Versions were tested in house, then
went to public alphas, betas, and RCs. The testing showed some major
issues, which were corrected. most of the problems we are seeing here
are minor, the exceptions being the migration issues, and the form manager.
Any product that goes through a really major revision, and, under the
hood, this might as well be a new product, is going to have issues like
this.
You think you are seeing complaints now? Wait til Thunderbird 3 reaches
release. They are testing like crazy and fixing things,and delaying. I
predict there will still be storm when it hits release.
Wait til the software is perfect, and you might as well never release
anything.

Actually 2 RC a notice was put up after the second one about it being
wrong wait for the third which followed a day later.
