  39     <h2>Rationale for Beta</h2>
  40
  41     <p>Why was this released as "Beta"?  The code is quite stable and it
  42     didn't deserve a "Beta" qualification.  However, there are some things
  43     left to do for the real 3.0 version.  These things will not affect the
  44     API to work with HTMLArea, in other words, you can install the Beta
  45     right now and then install the final release without modifying your
  46     code.  That's if you don't modify HTMLArea itself.  ;-)</p>

  48     <h2>To-Do before 3.0 final</h2>
  49
  50     <ol>
  51
  52       <li>We should use a single popup interface.  Currently there are two:
  53       dialog.js and popupwin.js; dialog.js emulates modal dialogs, which
  54       sucks when you want to open "select-color" from another popup and not
  55       from the editor itself.  Very buggy in IE.  We should probably use only
  56       modeless dialogs (that is, popupwin.js).</li>
  57
  58       <li>Internationalization for the SpellChecker plugin.</li>
  59
  60       <li>Internationalization for the TableOperations plugin.</li>
  61
  62       <li>People who sent translations are invited to re-iterate through
  63         their work and make it up-to-date with lang/en.js which is the main
  64         lang file for HTMLArea-3.0.  Some things have changed but not all
  65         translations are updated.</li>
  66
  67       <li><strong>Documentation</strong>.</li>
