Perfect, thx.

Just so I know, what's the procedure for us doing beta releases? Where do they 
go?

this will be our first beta release here at Apache. So, nobody can tell you what to do / where to go and we have to find the way together. ;-)

I would say we should not do things different (at least not too many) compared to our normal releases.

After thinking a bit I suggest that we:

- exchange the splash screen with a big and clear hint that it's a beta (no production use, no regular support, etc.)
- prepare the install files as a normal release but with special file names
- no participation with the update service
- upload the install files to SourceForge in an own subdir
- offer them on our download webpage

I don't know how we can to collect the feedback. BZ is not the right channel for this. Can we create a special beta area in the forums? What I mean is, is there enough coverage of moderators and power users?

Hello Jim,

the beta version should contain the recent translation, so I will start
to prepare an update of the *.sdf files.

Kind regards

I think we are at a stage where we should consider doing our
1st beta release of 4.2.0... we have successful builds for macOS,
Linux 32 and 64, and Windows; we have a stable 4.2.0-dev branch,
and enough changes to warrant a beta release for testing and
feedback (all IMO ;) ).

Any comments or other thoughts?
