Hi Thomas,

live) Thomas F wrote to Rémi Pach on TBUDL and made these points:

TF Beta versions are not public any more, but only for TBBETA list
TF subscribers. For good reason. However, you are welcome to
TF subscribe, and to contribute your findings with the betas you
TF download.

Just to explain a bit further.

RITlabs have announced this decision to gain a tighter control over
beta cycles. The TBBETA list is now the only place to find out about
betas and to participate in beta testing. This move has been inspired
by the appearance of a beta version on a magazine cover disk
somewhere, which I'm sure you'll agree makes a good case for tighter
to be introduced in this way.

Anyway, beta software should not be for casual use. It is for testing
on behalf of the developers and requires feedback to them to be of any
purpose.

Beta testers page

2001-11-25 Thread Rémi Pach


What happened to the beta testers only page? It has disappeared. One
can't access betas any more.

The link to the TBBeta mailing list and mailing list archive is also
gone. Can someone explain?

Correct.

RP gone. Can someone explain?

If you are a beta tester, you will be subscribed to TBBETA where this
was explained. If not, you don't need the beta page anyway. ;-)

Not necessarily. I just like to try out betas. I don't like to
subscribe to too many lists.

I just wanted to know what's happening to the beta policy and how one
can get hold of future betas. It may have been discussed there but I
can't see anything in the list archives on that topic. Can someone
explain in a few words?

Thanks in advance,

Rémi Pach

Excuse me, how do you test betas if you don't get the changelog (it's
posted only on TBBETA)? How do you confirm bugs that have been
discovered by others (or not)? How do you give feedback to the
developers (the whole point of beta testing)?

Beta versions are not public any more, but only for TBBETA list
subscribers. For good reason. However, you are welcome to subscribe,
and to contribute your findings with the betas you download.
