All,
  Here is the "Pre-release" version of BeerSmith 2 Build 2.0.44 which (barring any major bugs in the next few days) will be the next BeerSmith 2 release.

  I intend to release it formally to all users on the download page around the 14th of October, but here is the pre-release version if you want to give it a spin.

  PLEASE POST ANY BUGS YOU FIND IN THIS THREAD - thanks!

Windows 7/XP/Vista Version

I'm still cleaning up a few minor issues on the Mac side and will have it available here shortly.

Major Changes:

    Added BeerXML Import - you can now open BeerXML format files directly in BeerSmith2
    Moved "tabs" for open recipes up to the title bar for a cleaner use of space (good for those with small screens)
    Added prompt to ask user if they want to save a recipe as a new name when the version number for the recipe has changed
    Added option to allow dialogs to be scrolled with mouse wheel or gesture (Mac) for all items except lists (for lists it will scroll the list instead)
    Added command to allow display of smaller icons without labels on ribbon for saving space/advanced users
    Changed shopping list to display long name for items added so yeast product numbers, hop alpha, etc are now included
    Corrected BeerXML export - it was exporting some items more than once
    Added command to allow hiding of main menu

Additional Fixes:

    Corrected menu/ribbon/sidebar to allow almost all commands to be run from just one of the three
    Added option in Units Tab (Options Dialog) to allow hectograms to be used for pricing hops
    Corrected bug from build 42 where some shopping items were not matching inventory/displaying inventory properly
    Added $PRICE tag for custom reports
    Added support to allow choosing form of hops (whole, leaf, plug) when adding a new hop item to a recipe
    Corrected bug that caused problems with reading/storing many option values when the decimal point was set to a "comma" for international use
    Added support for multiple character currencies in pricing (options dialog)
    Recipe folders in the shortcut sidebar are now displayed in alphabetic order (instead of random order)
    Corrected problem where deleting a add-on could delete recipes in the folder if user created recipes in an add-on folder
    Import Wizard now adds items that have a positive inventory but are not already in the existing hops/grain/misc databases
    Fixed "water/grain" precision bug to allow proper setting of water/grain ratio and water amounts in mash profiles
    Corrected storing of column sort order - it previously did not store "reverse" sorts properly between sessions
    Corrected sorting bug that caused some users to crash (usually without an error message) when sorting main views
    Added new unit system for yeast starters - can be set from yeast starter tab (i.e. quarts, gallons or liters for example)
    Corrected bug in pricing of inventory for Misc items
    Corrected bug in list control that may have led to some crashes
    Corrected bug in import of files that could have led to crashes (only two instances known)
    Added "print tab" button to print screens for open recipes, and changed default print function to use default recipe format instead (more intuitive)
    Corrected BeerXML water/grain ratio on export
    Corrected problem where double click of some buttons was bleeding through to window underneath it
    Matched DME carbonation factors between recipe carb calculator and standalone tool
    Corrected bug in late extract additions - was not allowing late extract additions in a partial mash brew
    Added choose button to make it easier to add custom report templates
    Corrected water/grain ratio on infusion tool - was not showing metric units properly

Thanks,
Brad
 
Hi,
  Not yet - but it is high on my list.  I wanted to get the full BeerXML done first.
