I had originally planned on today's release being the first CR for 5.0. I am re-thinking that now. Here is why...
1) If we were to ever start offering a typed API, a major major release would be the time to do that. However, we'd still have the "load() + proxy interfaces" issue to decide a course of action on. 2) I have just introduced that Transaction changes after the first Beta. It is probably prudent to have one more Beta to allow people time to try out those changes and ask for changes. 3) I would still like to complete deprecating the Settings contract. The last piece there is the discussion I started earlier on the dev list wrt its usage in SPI contracts (L2 cache, etc). I would likely not get that done today. So I wanted to suggest that today's release instead be Beta2, with CR1 slated for 4 weeks from today.
