Beta testing for Microstation Connect Update 12?

Hi,

I was slightly involved with the Beta testing for Microstation Connect in 2014 prior to it being released.  I had several issues---1) My work was busy, so I could not dedicate too much time to the new software. 2) Microstation Connect had so many issues that it was impossible to use it for production and do real Beta testing.  3) The Microstation Beta had a lot of the "old" tools disabled, to try to force people to test the new features.  This just made it even more unproductive and made Beta testing even harder.

Now, I am receiving DWG files from Autocad 2018/2019, which Microstation V8i (SS3) can not handle.  I am also receiving notices from Bentley that the support on SS3 is starting to come to an end.  Therefore, I have been trying to get Microstation Connect up and running for our office.  Unfortunately, it feels like I am still in the Beta phase.  In the this process, I have at least 21 Service Requests filed, with a lot of them resulting in "Enhancement filed" or "Defect filed".  I don't believe that any of them were addressed in Update 11.

Microstation Connect Update 11's bugs are still preventing us from being able to use it in production.  We can do a couple steps in Connect, but then we have to fall back on V8i to do real work.  How can I get Microstation operational?  Do I have to wait for Update 12 to continue my Beta testing of Microstation Connect, or is it possible to get some early-release versions and get things fixed?

Sorry, I understand that this has been a major re-programming process, but we need a stable platform to do our production, especially when Bentley is trying to pressure us into using the latest version.

P.S. Microstation V8i (SS3) is open in the background doing nothing while I was typing this.  Most of the way through this post, I got:
