| 39 | Today's report covers our last two Iterations. The team has been very busy |
| 40 | and very productive. During these Iterations, the team achieved many of its |
| 41 | goals and drastically advanced Sophie 2 capabilities. We released Alpha 3, |
| 42 | available for download at http://www.sophie2.org/users/downloads.html, and |
| 43 | we are now looking forward to our first beta version, scheduled for the 14th |
| 44 | of August. The new user interface will be included in this release. |
| 45 | |
| 46 | We have posted two demo books, which can be found at: |

| 53 | During the eighth Iteration, the team held a very productive two day seminar |
| 54 | at Panichishte, clarifying design ideas and planning integration. Several |
| 55 | new developers joined the team during this period. |
| 56 | |
| 57 | A significant event during the ninth Iteration was a demonstration of the |
| 58 | Sophie 2 Alpha 2 release on the 2nd of July. Two videos of the demonstration |
| 59 | are available at: |
