Stop there. 1.63beta was not a release version. It's unfair to compare v2 to it when speaking of upgrades. CGS> and 2.0 are not that huge after all. There are many differences. If you aren't interested in them, that doesn't mean they aren't there. CGS> Of course a lot changed since 1.0, but that doesn't help the users CGS> who registered in July. Ritlabs put a 2 month limit on those who will receive free upgrades in terms of time between v1.x registration and the v2 release. This is understandable and is a reality. I've been hit by this limit with registration more negatively than positive. This is just how it is. CGS> To make it fair they should be allowed to upgrade any time later, Now *this*, I agree with provide the upgrade is between v1.x and v2. Ritlabs took a long time to ask for an upgrade charge for a lot of the enhancements since I started using it. The recent licensees really shouldn't suffer for this.

If so, I doubt that they've done anything with MicroEd since there's really nothing wrong with it. It works differently, that's all. The alternative editor will likely work more like how you'd expect it to. CGS> - V2 is still pretty much a beta, just released to keep the announced date.
