Thanks Jürgen for this reminder We should provide a HTML page with some help how to download and test the master version. Otherwise Windows, Linux and Mac users who are not developpers (and compilers) would not be able to help us testing the master version.
I remember there is one download page with a new Master Windows build every week. Having the same for other distributions would help. Do you think builders could provide some help to build a single wiki page "Try the last Master for Windows, Linux and mac distros ? Or this page already exists ? Having a single link could help us in this list to call for testers among the end users (via twitter and other channels) Michael 2014-05-23 21:31 GMT+02:00 "Jürgen E.
