   39:     <h2>Rationale for Beta</h2>
   40: 
   41:     <p>Why was this released as "Beta"?  The code is quite stable and it
   42:     didn't deserve a "Beta" qualification.  However, there are some things
   43:     left to do for the real 3.0 version.  These things will not affect the
   44:     API to work with HTMLArea, in other words, you can install the Beta
   45:     right now and then install the final release without modifying your
   46:     code.  That's if you don't modify HTMLArea itself.  ;-)</p>
   47: 
   48:     <h2>To-Do before 3.0 final</h2>
   49: 
   50:     <ol>
   51: 
   52:       <li>We should use a single popup interface.  Currently there are two:
   53:       dialog.js and popupwin.js; dialog.js emulates modal dialogs, which
   54:       sucks when you want to open "select-color" from another popup and not
   55:       from the editor itself.  Very buggy in IE.  We should probably use only
   56:       modeless dialogs (that is, popupwin.js).</li>
   57: 
   58:       <li>Internationalization for the SpellChecker plugin.</li>
   59: 
   60:       <li>Internationalization for the TableOperations plugin.</li>
   61: 
   62:       <li>People who sent translations are invited to re-iterate through
   63:         their work and make it up-to-date with lang/en.js which is the main
   64:         lang file for HTMLArea-3.0.  Some things have changed but not all
   65:         translations are updated.</li>
   66: 
   67:       <li><strong>Documentation</strong>.</li>
   68: 
   69:     </ol>
