 | Welcome to the Nebulosity 2.0 development page. The goal of this page is to keep users abreast with Neb2 development and to let people try out the new features. Versions you find here for download (http://www.stark-labs.com/neb2) require a valid Neb1 license. They are also set to expire at some unspecified time in the future. Your Neb1 license will work just fine with current pre-releases here, but once Neb2 is released there will be a small upgrade fee (hence the set to expire at some time bit). If you install Neb2 in a different directory than Neb1 (and really there is no reason why not to), they should peacefully co-exist on the same machine or at least not get into major fights (especially if you're already on Neb 1.6.3 or later). When in doubt, you can always just re-install Neb1 (or an earlier PHD) over things here. At worst, you'll need to double-check your Preferences.
Anyway, have a look, give a download, or head on out. Your choice. Remember, though, that this is development code. Much of it is in common with Neb1 so it's not insanely unstable. But new features haven't gone through the full testing process. If you spot bugs, let me know (craig@stark-labs.com), trying to be as specific as you can.
