Causality Alpha Releases

These are bleeding-edge beta releases of Causality. Be aware that alpha software is more likely to have bugs than release software. Make sure to make periodic backups of your document.

Communicate with us about issues at support@hollywoodcamerawork.com. Attach your document unless it's top secret, it gives us a 10 times better chance of fixing the issue. We won't read it.

IMPORTANT: All alpha testers are REQUIRED to submit all crash reports. If you don't, we'll come and find you :-) !

IMPORTANT: If you experience a bug/crash, please try to remember what you were doing immediately before.
