I'm not unhappy.  Sure, I'd love to have those fixes that were in 6.5 NOW, as well as the new toys.  But in the time since the 6.5 beta was released I've gotten a dozen emails from the bugtracker telling me they are finally getting around to assigning the bugs I started sending in before DAZ even bought the thing from Eovia.

Of course, now that they are aiming towards C7, I expect them to concentrate on new bells and whistles, new stuff to attract new customers, and one programmer will be allowed on alternate Fridays to go after some of the bugs that have been with the program for the last three whole-number versions (or longer).

(And in case you are thinking, oh, operator error, or maybe some bug that only happens if you double click while dragging on the second of two intersecting planes while using a computer running an older operating system and a non-conforming graphics card; one of the bugs they've FINALLY deigned to look at is that Carrara creates a bad UV-map on an ordinary cylinder.  Happens no matter how you created the cylinder, or how you chose to apply UV mapping.  Gives a bad seam that is obvious to anyone who takes the time to look at all sides.  Not a problem, perhaps, for native render -- you just turn the offending bit away from the camera -- but fatal for making ready-for-export content.)
