This is not fair. The last time you told me I should release it as "1.6svn-r24066" and that's
exactly what I did. It's installed and registered under this name.

That's why the name is not "alpha1" but "1.6svn-r24066".

We also discussed this after my first snapshot release and you said, yes, I am allowed to release
them. Now we have alpha1, so why not releasing a Windows version to test it out? Furthermore there
are lots of bugfixes since the last release that needed to be tested, for example the Japanese
stuff, some installer issues, etc. Also the translators requested such an release to be able to
update the docs and the po files.
Releasing test builds is in generally necessary to get bug reports as soon as possible. In the LyX
1.5 development cycle this has been proven very helpful. I'm now doing exactly the same.
