the 4.10 version is now also available for Linux. All new features of the Windows version
(Drag & Drop, XML, etc) are working there as well.
Also a number of bugs has been fixed since the last public release as you can read in the bugs forum.
The beta is available for download on you user account:

Note:
Because the platform dependant changes were not so big (only the DnD lib and WebGadget code needed to be redone),
we actually skipped the alpha testing phase for Linux.
So expect some bugs, especially in the two mentioned libs.
