There has been some confusion in the community as to how 1.3 public beta 4a relates to 1.3 public beta 6.1. Thus, after some due diligence, I have decided to take up the Microsoft approach, and get a focus group to help with picking a name. The focus group was hastily assembled, and based on past experience working with giant videogame publishers not to be named here, the focus group contained three stuffed animals and a two year old.

Based on Microsoft's naming conventions, the two choices presented to the focus group were BZ2 Mauve, and BZ2 Visual Live Expressions Web Cloud. Two hastily created presentations were assembled, and presented. Based on prior experience with crayons, and also the art style of BZ2 units, BZ2 Mauve was the clear winner, and I will be spending the next 14 hours rebranding the installer, splash screens, and the like. At which point, the two year old went back to attacking the presentations with the aforementioned crayons.

The stuffed animals were not available for comment.

April fools or not I do think it's time to drop the 1.(something) and move on to BZ2 2.(something) with huge changes and addons. And completely fully functional everything.

Maybe start from stock install and remake everything, it might help solve some SP issues.

I like BZ2 Visual Live Expressions Web Cloud.

It's got a nice ring to it.
