I don't get it, Timo suggests some correct procedures to follow and it gets dismissed?

Also, patches were reviewed and committed and as for regressions, previous release had even more, so there is a progress and positive view of the newcoming release. Usability test is also something which our testers do all the time when preparing a release, this includes testing golden apps etc. Victor could explain more on this topic, and I would really like testers to manage this kind of stuff and do some minimal quality assurance. Profit! :) WBR, Aleksey. On Feb 15, 2011, at 12:43 AM, Timo Kreuzer wrote: > > I'd like to come back to this and suggest a procedure: > > 1. Officially announce feature freeze. > 2.
