Why an alpha version ?
First, because release early, release often.
Second, because we felt so joyful when seeing Wired with all this stability and new features, that we could not stand keeping it for us.
Fifth, there is no fifth.
In fact, in the 0.4 version, we have made (again), one big step to stability. Racks can be drag and dropped without fearing the sky to fall on our heads, patterns can be copy/pasted in almost every way, music can really be made !
The other big new thing with this release is that we completely changed the way data is saved. It is a brand new saving facility that is born there and of course, things are getting hot. That's why, with this alpha version, you can only store external files. The project saving in itself is still done with the old method (you can try it, at your own risks, it may work).
Moving to the new one to save the whole project implies changes in every part of Wired, which is quite a big task. We will certainly continue working on it for one or two weeks before everything is clear.
For those interested, a technical documentation should come out soon.
Needless to say that you are pretty urged to test this alpha and give feedback so we can still enhance it before the 0.4 final...
Stay in touch !
