I have a project to write a Perspective app. I could write it in 8.0.x but I would like to use some of the 8.1 features. Is there an ETA on when 8.1 will be past the RC stage? PS I installed 8.1 on a test system. I like the direction you’re going. Just giving some feedback. ---

I test it out today and it really stable and fast compare to RC1 and older 8.0.x version. 😃 Even performance improve a lot. ---

Will changes that include in 8.1.1 nightly be available in 8.1.0 final release? There are many good changes in nightly and I can wait until 8.1.1 final release. ---
