Hi
I would lean towards -1 for a beta - we have had this same debate numerous times before and tried using beta's before. I don't think a beta will substantially increase testing uptake and it has the rather bad side effect that people will be using old code as their reference point (as opposed to using the nightly builds where they can see the latest fixes at any time). I'm happy to keep quiet if others think it is worth doing... Regards Tim On Sat, Jul 8, 2017 at 6:50 PM, Jürgen E. Fischer <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Richard, > > On Sat, 08.
