Hello, currently new beta versions come with considerably delay because a lack of test: We do not have time for extensive testing, and we do not like a broad distribution of untested versions.
In the hope that there could be people willing to be the first persons testing new versions with new features, I am going to create a new mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED], so that the versions with latest bug fixes and newest features can be posted there. All versions posted there shall have an alpha status. They should obey the requirements for the alpha versions as define in the freemind release process. NB: It leads to the common numeration for beta and alpha versions e.g. beta10, alpha11, beta11, alpha12, beta12, rc12 etc. I see following advantages of using the list comparing to simply uploading alpha versions to the FreeMind web server: 1. The tester are explicitly known as the list subscribers, and they can subscribe and unsubscribe any time. 2. The same channel is used for announcing, distribution, discussions and bug reports of alpha versions. 3. Web server disc space is saved. 4. Our work is immediately disposable for the public, and significantly more people can test it before official release. Any thoughts?
