The company I work for has been using the original version since 
December on production sites. We take automatic database and site 
backups every night, so I'm not too afraid to use it. We have never had 
any issues with that version.

As for the new beta version, in terms of loading and saving it still 
uses exactly the same code. The only change is the tree browser.

While I can't guarantee it's perfect, I have yet to have any problems, 
and I fully trust it. I only coded that latest version on Friday though.

At some point I guess the TYPO3 security team might review at least the 
jeditvfs extension and complain about how I used the auth services API, 
but I'll complain right back that there's no real standalone way to test 
a BE login properly from the FE. It's encapsulated into a class which I 
could swap out with a new one if the core ever supports a more flexible 
authentication API.

Good morning! Glad to hear it worked for you!
