Oh, I simply increased the counter in the installer. I must give it a name and I really did not
thought about the file name. However, the lyx.exe said it is a dev version, not the RC.

If you want to see something bad, you will always find something. It hurts me a lot that you see it
like that. Why are you now that formalistic? The time you were the manager for 1.5/6.x I also many
times upload test installers and you were aware of that. That time the main problem was that I did
not had Vista and could not see if a problem that was only reported in that platform was a OS
specific bug or not. With the testing releases we could solve some problems. So fine, or did this
ever harmed LyX? No, in contrary it pushed us forward.
> This is not the point. This binary is in the wild.
I already deleted it yesterday as I got the feedback I needed. This nasty bug cost me so much time
and it had very strange side effects that I still don't understand. As I also got some mail from
friends about this while others said, they cannot see the problem, so just wanted to be sure.
I could have sent the test installer link by private mail as I did in the past so that the link is
not in the Internet. But just 2 days ago JMarc encouraged me to bring more on the list what i
normally do by private mail. So obviously how I do it, I do it wrong :-(
Why do you have to criticize me for every single thing I do?
Why do you feel offended every time we ask you to stick with our
rules/agreements?
The problem I have is that you say, I violated a rule but we never voted and discussed this. It is
not OK that some say "+1" and that is then a rule. If we want to be more formalistic then we should
do it right. Take for example the coding style rules - a file visible for everybody with precise
rules we once discussed and also voted for. I cannot remember that we discussed the state of test
builds for particular problems. As other GPL projects sent me test builds it doesn't seem a very
uncommon thing and does not violate a license.
For some Windows issues I will always need the help of users and sending them a special lyx.exe is
often not enough (as in this case).
However, I have more points I wanted to say, please have a look about my mew thread of the LyX 2.1
release. There are so many things in the air that lead to confusions and I don't thick that it is
right what we are doing right now for LyX 2.1.
I invested a lot of time the last weeks. The user feedback encourages me while your feedback
frustrates me. This is not good and I am tired to have to explain myself for every bit. I swear I do
my best to get a stable and well tested release. It seems to me that it is for you more important to
fulfill certain rules. LyX 2.1 is in my opinion not yet ready for a release and I would like to get
more feedback and more time. Both are in my opinion very important at that state!

I am currently very busy and will be at a business trip. So it might be that I cannot respond until
Sunday and I did also not yet had the time to respond to the other posts. Please don't be offended.
