We'd like to announce a new "beta" release of mobileOK Basic Tests 1.0's reference implementation "checker", downloadable as an executable .jar file above.

Since the initial "alpha" release late last year, we and the developer community have identified approximately 30 issues with the implementation and fixed them, while completing several enhancements to performance. While not yet perfect, we believe the project has moved forward significantly from its initial release and has graduated to "beta" status. We know of no major issues and do not anticipate major changes before the final 1.0 release.

Developers and end users may begin to use this version with confidence, and are encouraged to contribute suggestions and bug reports to the public-mobileok-checker@w3.org mailing list.

Thanks to the several members of the MWI Best Practices Working Group who have come together to produce this remarkably useful and flexible bit of software.
