We use a beta group to test bug fixes before releasing them as updates. I realized recently that a lot of discussion that happens inside the beta group isn't very transparent outside the group. So you might think a bug isn't being worked on, or that we're not aware of it. We'll try to do a better job getting this info out in the future.
Also if you have a blocking issue or need a bug fix asap, please request to join the beta group! It's the best way to help us fix the problem and get the fix as quickly as possible!
Thanks!!
