For years people have moaned and complained that 56b is only available in a nightly form, unless you wanted to use a really old pre-release.

Now we have the 2013 Pre-release. The last version of 56b that will be released (development now having moved on to 56c), and people are refusing and reluctant to upgrade to it

This leaves me in a state of bewilderment.

The 2013 pre-release is more stable, less buggy and has more features than earlier versions.
There are no syntax changes to scripting through out the 56b version.
Scripts that work with the earliest version of 56b should work perfectly fine with the last version, though the 2013 pre-release offers some options that can be worked into your scripts to make them more efficient. (notice I said can be worked into, not must be worked into or your server will explode)
Upgrading really only requires a handful of sphere.ini changes, it is the work of minutes, compared to the work of hours/days whining and moaning on the forums about how a script doesn't work with an old version of the server.

There is no valid reason for not upgrading a server running ANY version of 56b to the 2013 pre-release

If you are running any of the 56b nightlies and you have an issue step 1, before you even think of posting should be to upgrade.
Anything else only succeeds in wasting time, yours and everyone trying to help you.
