RTIR 4.0.1 Beta 1 Now Available

RTIR 4.0.1beta1 is now available for testing. The list of changes included with this release is below. We welcome any feedback or bug reports on this beta release.

(For long-time RT testers, this release is the same as what we previously called a release candidate. We have decided to change to “beta” since that has become a more familiar term for early release software.)
