D*mn, I took to long to write and was logged out in the meantime!
Oh well, better keep it short then. The alpha is about as stable, maybe more, than the 1.1, as it is mainly a bugfix with some additional features. The main reason why it's an alpha is because I have a long list of features I want to add, and groupjive won't go into beta before they have all been integrated. However, I want to make new releases every now and then for testing (by others than myself).
mischa, you are welcome aboard the project if you want to and have some coding experience or just as an official tester.
Oh, and I'd like to welcome you all and myself to this nice new forum!
