I keep seeing references to these versions.
Is 7.1 the next release to 7.0? And 7.2 is in the works even though 7.1 is not released? What is the ETA on these versions and will they all be a free upgrade to 7.0 users?

7.1 has been released, but Able recommended that you not upgrade to that unless you need some of the new international code. Build 34 of the dataport utility won't work with it either. I think 7.2 is in quality control now.

Development moves faster than the QA process. Once a build is frozen for the QA team, development continues. It leads to a situation where we work on multiple "versions" at the same time.
The QA is time consuming, but a necessary step to ensure we produce a more reliable product. Each time a bug comes in from a customer, I ask myself how we could have caught that on our own. And I mean real bugs, not feature requests.

The ratio of bugs we catch vs bugs customers find is much improved for the 7.x product compared to the 5.x product.
