You have to admit that a large number of these bugfixes is actually
"getting things back to work how they used to" because you're working on
internal changes with unicode support and whatnot. But, sorry Val, these
don't qualify as bug fixes for me.

But in reality, thats not the point why a lot of people are sad now, again.

An additional test version together with the announcement that it will be
the release version (despite known bugs and wishes, but to satisfy the
public need for a new stable release, just as VV stated - which is
completely ok for me) has been denied to your fellow community of loyal
beta testers once more - and thats sad.

You rely on the community for catching bugs for you, you have to give some
trust back in return or you'll slowly scare away these people. I sometimes
have the feeling that the betatester community does care a lot more about
quality that Ritlabs itself does!

I repeat my proposal that there should be a more intensive dialogue between
Ritlabs and the users, at least the beta testers. Just like it has been
proposed that beta testers are asked if they think the planned release
version (RC1) is OK on NUMEROUS occasions. Everyone knows that "fix all
bugs" is an utopic claim, but being entirely ignored is no way to deal with
the people that do so much for you in their spare time.
