Hello Alexander,
ASK> In other, and very direct words: who makes the m*r*n decision to release a
ASK> "final" overnight, without a Release Candidate, without a final chance for
ASK> the beta testers to catch the last minute glitch?
It was my decision, all stones to me.
ASK> This is more than chaotic. I mean... all of a sudden, there's a 3.62.08
ASK> version in the MSI package, and no one knows about it, your website only
ASK> says "3.62 has been released" per 28th of October.
Well known practice of silently replace release version with more
stable version. 3.62.08 differs from 3.62.07 *only* in one bug fix,
5144, as I remember... That bug was reported *only* by one person in
TBBETA and has *only* his vote on the BT. That's why .08 was released
without TBBETA information (unlike .07 and .05) , while reporter has
PM with announcement of it.
ASK> But that final includes
ASK> three versions until now (3.62.05, 3.62.07, 3.62.08) - how would a user
ASK> that is not on TBBETA, who downloaded the "3.62 final" Friday night, know
ASK> that there's a more recent version in the installer, now that its Sunday?
If user has any problems with it, he could ask tech. support for
help. And it is supporter job to know all known bugs of releases and
point to the best suitable version to check fix.
