Hello all!
Thanks for the support in this.
The release work is, to a very large extent, automated so the work needed
for every release is limited. Alas, it takes a while to get it done since
there is a lot of downloading and uploading involved. For that reason I must
reserve a whole evening of monitoring the computer during the build.
I will continue adding alpha releases (making around one per week) to keep
the tempo and once all P1 and P2 issues are addressed we can go into the
beta period. Keep up the work with the defects and testing!
