Hi Stack, What are the expectations regarding 0.95? Should we open JIRAs for the issues we found like for the other releases?
I just tried to start it out of the box and it's failing. It tries to write on the /var/folders/ directory, which doesn't exist. Since it's a dev release, I can configure that, or add the rights, or create the directory, etc. and continue the testing with the remaining test cases. Or should I report even such small issues?
