So just the cleaning, ironing, etc to go then. 

In Publisher, Shift-Click should Autoflow, creating as many pages and frames as needed for the text.

I'm struggling with linked text frames, too. I'm experimenting with a book Ive already published on InDesign.
Do I have to link each of the frames separately to the preceding one, all 300-400 pages? In ID you can hold a combination of keys down and the text just flows through all the pages once you click the little link on the right of the first text frame.
But I welcome Publisher's arrival at last.

Oh boy, I have so been looking forward to this app finally being available! 
I can't install the beta until tomorrow to experiment and the videos at this stage don't mention it, but can we place imported long text and have it flow to (ideally auto-inserted) 'next pages' until all of it is placed? I'd hate to have to produce a 400-page book by drawing and linking each text box, page by page. Fingers crossed ...

I know you've only been out a couple of hours with the BETA, but where's the coffee making ability? I need this straight away. When is it coming? Today, tomorrow, next week. This is very important to me. Tell me quickly. Time is of the essence.
When coffee making version is released, there's more features I'd like to see (in no particular order):
Cleaning Ironing Self drive AI Virtual Reality etc Thank you!
 

A designer specializing in layout work who doesn't know or care about separations is an expensive accident waiting to happen. Black RGB text that prints blurry, or black text at 7pt that's not set to overprint, or images with an RGB black background which auto-separates into rich black that are placed inside a CMYK K-only black rectangle in the hope of it looking seamless – the client is not going to be happy.
I routinely check anything that goes to print in separations preview, and one out of three times, I spot a last-minute problem that needs to be fixed. Partly this is because of idiosyncrasies of InDesign's quirky transparency flattener, but still, it's an important step in any software that helps you prevent costly situations like re-printing 500 000 copies of a document because you missed a very small but very stupid problem.
While in my opinion not absolutely essential for a 1.0 release (a software like Acrobat can be used to check the PDFs if need be), it's definitely far from just a "nice to have" feature.

Hi - major important feature would have to be bleed view, being able to work out how much bleed is on one edge to the other is important in large exhibition / packaging projects.
Also be nice to be able to set bleeds up when setting new doc / page all in one place.
