Loving the new 1.5 oxwall looking and acting sleeker than ever.

Just one thing is that I ran into a dependency problem of not having php5-curl.
These are fairly simple beta testing faults and this isn't a criticism just an opinion.

Bug checking is a numbers game, the more platforms, users... The better the results.
No-one minds a beta that has errors but buggy releases taint a really good product.

I didn't understand why you didn't release a beta to the community. I know its a race before the end of the world on the 21st :)
On a more serious note though if you had released a beta say just for a couple of weeks I am sure you would of got more feedback and a more stable and planned release.

From the forums I feel there are a few who feel a little annoyed to find there updates proving non working sites.

I am sure this could of been avoided and pre-releasing a beta for a short period of time would do much to alleviate this.
