"sorry" for stepping on any rules wont do it again.
Many, many more things have been fixed besides whats on this list, but this list represents the common things seen and reported during the beta. It's meant as a reference so you know the time you spend testing makes a difference and so you can help confirm that the fix is "good" and truly resolved the issue. Everything on this list was reported by a beta site.
