The beta releases are every three weeks now because of the release schedule being adjusted to allow Linux distributions to release the new version in the Autumn distributions.

I understand that you're eager to have your feature up and running. I feel like shipping the fixed version in beta2 will be sufficient. If we released a beta1.5 later in the week, that would be overkill given the already aggressive schedule as you'd then have a beta2 two weeks later, no?
