I suspect many developers, including myself, use the 'beta' as their working version of ICS in live applications, and expect major changes to have been properly tested for backward compatibility before being released, effectively alpha testing. Unfortunately such alpha testing does not seem to be done by all ICS developers, so things get broken. Of the two pending beta components, I found MimeDec to cause one of my applications to no longer decode the last attachment part of email, and HttpProt is hard to test because the developer is expected to supply their own ZLIB compression code (use of a DLL is unacceptable for a component). I'm vaguely planning on adding ZLIB compression to the FTP client and server (which FileZilla supports) and that will need a proper ZLIB components using C OBJ files, once that is done HttpProt can use the same stuff.
