TypeR 1.0 has been upped to "beta" status. That means it's 1 step closer to release than "alpha". (After beta is RC (release candidate), then the stable release.)
What prompted me to change the status? Keyboard support. Some "special keys", namely, non alphanumeric keys (`,;.'/[]\ were not working) are now working better. Exact support is browser-dependent. The period, slash, and quote do not work yet, i'm still looking at that.
At the same time, i fixed the rather stupid overlook of not supporting a Hebrew keyboard. Like, some people have it installed, but have no idea how to use it. That's what TypeR is for! :)
I will be breaking one of the unspoken rules of versioning. Beta releases are usually meant to fix bugs, not add features. Alpha is for adding features. However, i have yet to add translating the interface, and it's beta status. So, excuse me for that. :)
One more thing: TypeR is being developed in Firefox, and so works and looks best in it. Chrome is usable, IE is not. I have not done any testing on Safari or Opera.
