Thanks in advance.

Any idea on the timing of the "Gold" release? I am setting up CBSubs on 1.91 and don't want to have a lot of reconfiguration when version 4.0 is released

I'm currently working on the last three stable-release blocking items, and Nick is helping me out on one of them which is to get all language strings right using the same new proven automatic language files generation method as we used in CB 2.0. So it should not be too far away. Sorry, we are not giving release dates, as sometimes unforeseen events and workload on forums and other stuff are unpredictable. That said, we're eager to get "stable" out. That said, your best bet is just to get started on CB 2.0 and latest nightly, then upgrade to stable when it's released. Our nightlies are very stable these days actually.

Is this for use on live sites?

I've got a client who wants to move from cbSubs mainly because of " 3630 Renewal date wrong when using calendar year duration" - which this fixes... not sure why, it just annoys him
