Hi @ledz, I initially did a double take when @Tomasz answered but he's just ringing my bell :) He was a big help answering noobie questions when I started. But you summed it up well. In fact on the support issue I really need to give props to Jonathan, Atsushi and Eric for their awesome support

What kind of answer is that? Obviusly a stable 4.2 brings new goodies that are helpful to most... fragments, designer, easier bindings...

Ver 4.1 has a fix that affects garbage collection on dual core devices. However this alpha is pretty big - when I package my app it's over 10MB. I'm presuming that a stable 4.2 is going to have a smaller footprint - possibly less embedded debug code? I've been waiting for this for a few months -
