If you're not entirely at ease with beta releases, please do not use them! If, however, you don't mind a bug now and then, you can help us greatly by using a beta release and reporting any problems you may encounter.

Beta versions of RoundClock are available only at our web site. They will not be announced to the recipients of our normal newsletter. However, if you're willing to check out new beta releases and report errors and problems to us please drop us a note at betatest@fkware.com and we'll notify you of any new beta release.
