Do you think that would help 90% of the posters - sorry I don’t think so.

The 77 bit signal and LOTW errors are very clearly mentioned in the release 
notes - which everyone is advised to read but don't

Those looking at the mailing lists - there is an archive/search option - even 
just reading what was in last few hours in some cases would show the answer.

Posting a list - while many people will get a nice warm feeling of things 
actually happening esp on some of the more obscure issues but don’t think will 
affect the number of similar queries.

Many people do not understand the concept of beta tests - they think it is just 
another upgrade, jump in with both feet and are surprised when there is a 
slight issue, panic, scream and start reloading old versions and wasting so 
much of their time in the process where a 1 mins check of the dreaded … Release 
Notes - would have answered it.

Human nature is not to RTFM no getting away from it - posting a list of 
known/fixed issues would be great to refer people to but won’t cut down 
repetitive questions.

P.S. What may help is on the download page you have to go via another page of 
‘issues’ before being able to download but that would take maintenance and the 
dev teams have better things to do.
