Extension sup****t with a new release, particularly one in beta, will
always lag behind.
Even once it does reach release status, if there are extensions that are
im****tant to you, its usually best to wait, say two weeks, before
installing the new version, to allow the extension writers to catch up.
From what I hear, this will likely be the final beta, , but there will
be a round of release candidates to come. C hanges are still likely
before a true release is made.
