Is there a reason you don't mention OS X? From previous announcements
I thought it was not ready for beta testing since it was not listed.
But I made my lazy self check today and found that there is a OS X
beta version. And wow, I'm very impressed with with the overall
visual appearance. Much improved. Now you just need to get the OK/
Cancel buttons in the right order for Mac users :).

A few issues I noticed:

Data browser does not honor the maximum number of rows setting. I set
mine to 1000 and loads every row in the table.

In the documentation viewer I went to some web page links and get
lots of "No handler for image type" errors. Example:

Is this supposed to work for connecting to the server in the main
window. My server is on localhost:5432 and I had the entry below in
my .pgpass but it still prompted me for the password. But it is very
nice the password prompt window now allows me to save the password.
Where are they stored?

localhost:5432:*:user:pass

Great job on the new version.
