Alpha 4 Release; Status of Beta

Just a quick note; Alpha-4 was released to the test team finally, after many long delays.
Alpha-5 is coming along quickly. I’m mulling over where I want to draw the line and call things ready to begin the beta testing. I already know that I will still be adding a few strong features in Beta yet, rather than a complete feature freeze, for several reasons. Thus, all that really needs to get finished for beta to start is continued polishing/bugfixing to the point that things work and flow the way they’re supposed to.
