Two days ago I installed 0.5 and was very impressed with what I saw. I think it appears to be in good hands. However, the first epub I worked on was a very large file. I did saves regularly during my work. After approximately 6 hours of work I was schocked to see that my file had suddenly shrunk from over 700Kb to less than 150Kb. It was truncated at that point and the last 4/5ths of the file was gone. I did have a back-up, but lost the 6 hours of work. Sorry, I can't say what action it was that caused the data loss, but it scared me enough that uninstalled 0.5 and went back to 0.4.2 where I have not suffered any data loss in months.
