2.6 beta

Re: 2.6 beta
So, is this a public beta? If so, can we all get in on it? If not, are you allowed to write the comment?

Re: 2.6 beta
Just contact the Redlers to be added to the beta list.
Re: 2.6 beta
This forum could definitely do with a "beta testing" section.

Re: 2.6 beta
Except that it's not a public beta, so the beta testers couldn't post there, unless it was password protected...
Re: 2.6 beta
That's fine. I guess I will wait for the real deal.

Re: 2.6 beta
Mellel is known for being rock solid. If a beta becomes public which might contain a serious bug this reputation could get spoiled at least a bit because some people are not aware of the difference between a beta and a final release. And complaining people are always the loudest …
But more important is that when you increase the number of beta testers the bug reports get multiplied. You do need a certain number of people to at best cover the whole range of a program's features but if you have too many you will drown in doublet bug reports. And all of them crave for a reply. Since the Redlers don't have a James Bond villain style huge and all-female support team—or do they? Need an intern? PN me!—this would slow down the finalisation of the beta.
So their decision for a non-public beta is quite understandable.

Re: 2.6 beta
Any word on the final 2.6?
A while back the Redlers indicated it would be released some time in December. So we have two days left.

Re: 2.6 beta
I just wanted to note a couple of things:shades wrote:Any word on the final 2.6?

A. 2.6 is not in public beta. We will never issue public betas.
B. The beta programme is open to all comers, but it doesn't provide anything but pain and suffering ( ) to those who can take it to enjoy a peek into what's coming up.
C. Right now, we're working to complete the localisations for Mellel, so the release date is not far (probably next week or so).

Re: 2.6 beta
Right, I understood that there was not a public beta. I was not asking about it, because the beta had been released a while ago. But the comment was that the actual 2.6 version would be out in December. That was what I was asking about.
Thanks.
Thanks.
