I find it amusing that you make a world-wide public announcement of something, and recommend required software which the software manufactrurer does not recommend using, at least in my case.

When looking to download the Macintosh version of the plugin, I was warned:  "This is unsupported pre-release software designed for use by developers only. Users without extensive experience with beta software should wait for more polished versions currently under development."

No thanks.
