Meta tag issue?

[wcw]

I put in a meta tag for a product. The input for the description is a textarea. To test a theory I hit the carriage return before the last word to put it on the next line. When in merchant.mvc I view the source I see:

<meta name="description" content="Great movie with Dean
Jones">

Is it ok to have carriage returns in meta tag desriptions?

Shouldn't there be a /> at the end instead of just the >

I still need an API version (other than 5.00) because of the meta tag feature.

Will be fixed in RC1.

Thanks.

RC1. I believe y'all said we would not have to do any complete re-installs from now on. Is that still the plan?

Does this mean all the features in the current beta will be in the released product?

When can we start talking about MM5.5 to those not in the beta? I've seen comments about hosts showing customers and developers showing clients. I'm asking about those who ask questions about what MM5.5 has to offer and what it looks like.

Bill,

You can talk to people about what you're seeing in 5.5 as long as it's in private (as in please don't talk to anyone in the press until it's released). You can also show it to people one and one but please don't publish screen shots without our approval.

RC1 will have to be a complete reinstall (this beta process has highlighted some limitations for us in our streaming system).

The plan is for the basic feature set you see in Beta 3 to be the release feature set. Is there any feature you're specifically asking about?

Re: Meta tag issue?

Nothing in particular. Most everything was publicly stated and shown at the conference. But it gets fuzzy on what we were told at the conference vs what we see in the product as we work with it.

Yeah we appreciate all of the help and we're being pretty loose with the process.
