Why was 1P8 released in a seemingly unfinished state?

noraar, If you read some of the response posts by 1Password Team Members regarding user-reported problems, I believe you'll see that code changes to correct bugs, add features (from base functionality IP8), and tweak display elements are appearing regularly in the beta or "nightly" interim releases. Presumably, these fixes will eventually make it into the production software via the "official" update process. I'm not making excuses for the disruption in user workflows caused by the (softly) forced migration to the new version across the various platforms, but I understand the process underway and believe that, sooner or later, AgileBits will achieve the objectives it set out clearly in the blog post @Scott2 referenced in a previous post in this thread.
