While the attempt is nice, I think the real issue is that we lack
beta testers. Shouldn't we rediscuss of beta / RC releases with
installers, together with public annoucement.
I couldn't agree more on this.
What we really have is a lack of communication prior to .0 releases.
Is someone else motivated to sit together and work on a plan
regarding future release communication and beta releases?
Well in the future I think we will be able to use the in application
feed to appeal to our existing users to please test the upcoming
release. Perhaps Jürgen could add some magic to his release scripts to
push out something to the feed when the freeze hits….?
I think this will be one piece in the puzzle.
Next to this I'd like to see other measures, like a release being
labelled /"QGIS LTR 3.12 Beta 1"/ on the splash screen and possibly
other communicative measures by mail, blog, application news feed etc,
like Qt does for example https://www.qt.io/blog/qt-5.14.0-beta1-released .
I think it would be best to have a small group to discuss possibilities
and required efforts and come forward with a proposal.
