Since Lenny has been frozen, we have received many new installation
reports based on beta2. Those really starts to annoy me as a lot of
issues has been fixed since.
I agree with you that newly merged features needs wider testing, and
even if I spotted and fixed small issues here and there, bugs are still
waiting to be discovered. I am also a bit worried that bugs like #493099
as not been reported earlier.
So either:
- we change the webpage to encourage people to use the daily
builds until RC1 is out,
- we release a Beta3,
- we release a RC1 that is not a real candidate for the release
(but which would make the press happy).
In any cases, we should send a "call for testing" pretty soon.
As we are in the the process of freezing features and strings, the first
option is a viable one to me while bugs get fixed and translations
updated.
If we decide to make a release, the process should really start as soon
as possible, otherwise we are going to loose all the benefit of making
one now and not early september.
Cheers,
