The items listed below are singled out because of their severity or because of the number of times that they were reported. Unless we specifically request it below, there is no need to resubmit bugs that have already been entered.
Snapping to grid and guides has been added to the vector tools; please report any issues you encounter.
The Beta 5 installer will remove any existing PSP 8 registry entries when run. In addition, workspace files saved in previous beta version cannot be loaded into Beta 5. You may wish to do a screen capture of your workspace before uninstalling Beta 4.
