Going beta, IMHO, is a wonderful Idea! This way you guys can get a lot more feedback than with SVN (most people don't know/want to build from SVN), and a official build is always better than a home made one.
I would even go beyond that: Offer nightly builds (.run for Linux and a installer for Windows), and define a more elaborate beta release cycle. More intermediary releases means more people will install it, what means more test beds what yields a better product. Than again, thats me :) Innotek might have a different perspective on the matter. But as Alexey said in another e-mail: "Release Early, Release Often" ;) Cheers, KM On 4/24/07, Achim Hasenmueller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Antonio Augusto (Mancha) schrieb: > > So, this means 1.4.0 is just around the corner? :D > > > We are currently discussing whether we are going to do a beta of 1.4 on > Linux and Windows.
