I'd break that down into: pre-Alpha ========== Has unfinished features. The software spec and feature set may still be undergoing finalization. Even for developers, things are shifting underfoot. Bug reports are discouraged until all features have been checked in. This appears to be where SlimServer 7.0 currently stands. Looking at http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.cgi?SlimServer7Spec, I'd guess maybe 1/3 of that is complete. Alpha ========== Feature complete, but unstable enough that it's not ready for widespread beta testing. Die-hard testers and third party plugin developers are invited to check it out and begin filing bug reports. -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29971 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta
