      Thanks Merlijn Ekkel.

      This is great news. Big congrats to the team.

      Look forward to the parallel Query, Notification Alert and Recycle Bin features.

      Hopefully the Java HTML parity should be the next most sort after awaited feature. Still on target for the 1st service pack after GA?
