Eagle V6 beta?

[IanJ]

Hi all,

Downloaded and installed, but not had much time to play.

http://www.cadsoftusa.com/betatest/

It says ver win-5.91.1-beta but I notice it's saving the files in XML.........so is this a public release of V6 with all it's bells n whistles.....?

I would think so based on the message than v5 license holders may have to upgrade their license to v6. See also https://www.eevblog.com/forum/index.php?topic=5437.0.

not necessarily public beta v6 but first step in that direction.

However UPDATE_en.txt the says:
