Hi Firstly, if you are volunteering to do some testing before releases, that's great. Please drop me and Thomas a mail with the plan - I'll probably be happy to just leave it in your hands and we do a release when you say "go for it". There is a tmux-tests repository on GitHub with some scripts, but it's now dead and needs someone else to pick it up. Currently releases are around May and September but it doesn't have to stay like that.
Secondly, OS X's locale implementation has some fundamental problems, that these only came to light in releases shows only that OS X users didn't report them, or that we weren't able to resolve them, during the 6 months between each release. I'm not aware of similar issues on FreeBSD but the point is the same: for wider testing, and for platforms other than OpenBSD and Linux, we rely on other people getting involved. (Remember that releases are a convenience for you, not for me!) I encourage people to run tmux from Git - you don't need to be involved in tmux development to do this and report problems.
