PG never tend to do pre-beta, the beta is dumped a week before and it's basically just for bug testing, nothing gets changed until the next year release.
As I said unless there are actually have a new crossplatform code like the Plugin uses that allows for good quality GUI and quick feature implementation due to the code being specifically designed for audio applications, as there are many features asked for that need this. Look at the GUI pics Cerio posted.
Is it wrong to want something like that for "Band in a RealBand Box", is it just too much to ask for ??
