For all you slackers who haven't realised. The spell checker is really quite good.

I've been using the beta for about a week, upgrade time

Awesome

It seems to be a fair bit quicker and doesn't seem to use quite so much memory.

Not too keen on the default theme though so I've downloaded the Noia 2.0 (extreme) theme, which is a little better.

Hmm, is it a straight upgrade over the current version?

Power users who open more tabs than can fit in a single window will see arrows on the left and right side of the tab strip that let them scroll back and forth between their tabs.

Nasty. I want multiple rows with fixed width tabs.

Wasn't too keen on that bit either. I have 14 tabs open as my home page but only 11 will fit at 1280x1024

It was for me, though the update manager didnt pick it up.

The update manager is supposed to spring into life sometime tonight IIRC.
