[Ryan Kruse]

ZipTie Community,

In preparation for the upcoming 2008.04 release of ZipTie we have put out a beta version.  Please give it a test run and let us know if you find any issues along the way.   We are aiming to release the final product within the week so the sooner any bugs are found the better.  If you do find an issue please file a bug report on our tracking system at http://bugs.ziptie.org.

We would especially appreciate focused testing in one of the new feature areas below.
