I endorse this 'call' and congratulate the SQUID developers with their ongoing efforts this improve this marvellous software product. However , as the Mozilla development community does, I wonder whether it would not be more practical to post a release called 2.5.STABLE7-RC1, etc. As a user I would be more motivated to test SQUID as then,there is a clear reference point for reporting bugs. Now the nightly snapshot 'setup' makes me less motivated to participate in this process. As it is would be always easy to reply from a developer in the complex ages we are living in : 'Oh that problem has already been fixed in the snapshot from yesterday. Basically and usually emotional based default argument reasoning which is an increasingly bigger problem as the IT age 'complexifies'. And perhaps may stop enhancing software in the end. It should be avoided. Therefore I make a plea for such a mechanism. Thx. M.
