Quicken Early Release Channel?
Dale G
Is there a Quicken early release channel for new releases and new patches? If so, are special customers included? Who else? If not, why not?

Also, new releases are

Thank you for the link. I submitted my request to be beta tester.

Why would I want to be a beta tester? To gain insight into their development and release process, which seems a bit rough. For example, not for the first time, earlier today (maybe yesterday) QW recommended a new release for September. This evening, a short time ago, it went back to recommending R34.24 from July. But wait, there's more! Just now QW is recommending the 35.31 patch of August (and lists at least 2-3 intervening patches since 34.24 which were not previously recommended in QW). In my many years as a developer, this was not acceptable as a norm, so why is it acceptable as a norm for QW customers?
