Werner, Some users (including myself) offered themselves to carry out some testing of the new releases in order to at least write a list of the most important "Known Problems". Perhaps we can do it for 1.7.4, once the binaries are released, as a first experiment. Afterwards we can decide on more formal and organized ways of doing this. By now the idea would be that each tester would test those tools that he/she uses the most and/or are most critical for his work. We would need a page in the wiki to make a list of the tests that each user is able to do, and the the results. After a week or so we could summarize a text to be distributed in the Download page. Is this possible?
