After more than an year of scratching my head, writing code, deleting code, writing code again, deleting code again I decided that it is time to release the first beta of Hotspots 4.0.
In the past I've blogged about the things that are going to change:

Please download it, install it on your test servers and give it a go!

For those of you who are to lazy to download and install it, I've setup a demo of the latest version over here:

Give it a try and let me know what you think. Please share your findings now. I'll make sure to take them into account and try to fix everything for the next beta.

Here is a list with the known issues. I'll update this list on the base of your comments:
