Since there is a delay in the V1 release, it would be nice to get to know the software through reading the manual.

Any chance of letting us download the release manual before the release date?

Changes are happening on a daily basis. I'm sure the final manual will probably be materialized into a PDF that comes with the DL. Maybe, i don't know .....and an eventual hardcopy.
So, i think the answer is no. ........that's just my take, but a realistic one.
