I'll also volunteer as a beta tester.
Regarding bugs in IDL_IDLBRIDGE:
A year ago, I reported an error in this newsgroup ("idl_idlbridge weirdness on unix systems", 2012-02-28): Using more than 15 bridges simultaneously on a linux 64-bit system causes IDL to hang if the bridges are not destroyed in the exact opposite order to the order they were created. You replied that this is a known bug (CR64611), and that Tech Support had identified a possible workaround. However, the bug is still there in IDL 8.2.2 (linux 64-bit), a year later.
