The "ask to fix as you go" feature, in beta3, may be a case of the cure being worse than the disease. I have lost data a couple of times due to a typo but I save often in v3.4 so it no longer causes me a large problem.
In v3.4 it does auto fixes to such things as removing the antonym of <span> if you had removed it. This is a huge time saver. I think it would be more helpful if the "auto fix/check" in beta3 only happened when you left the current file or went to book view. In which case it would only flag those things that Sigil could not resolve and ask you to fix them manually.
One unexpected "feature" has popped up that is real handy. I am running Windows 7 with the 32bit version of v3.4 and the 64bit version of beta3 on the same machine. This makes it easy to use both versions to work on the same file since the last opened file is the same for both versions. I guess there is a "history" file being kept somewhere - I just can't find it.
Kudos to Valloric for the great work. I looks like v4 will be as robust and as useful as v3.4.
