Beta 2 is ready

Time for a new beta. First one was very successful and several important bugs were found and fixed.

Beta2 will focus on quality and documentation, and will rest for a month.

I will give frequent updates on the status of the beta. You can download it from the link on the right.

xput comparative 1.19 vs. 2.0

Here is the comparative for the code in git. I will publish beta2 in a couple of days. As you can see the xput improvements are considerable.
