Hi Matthias,
Whether or not I am a list member is not important. Whenever I need the
latest version of LC, I follow the link to the downloads and download
whatever appears to be the latest version.
I'm not going to check the list for all announcements, while I just want
to help out a new potential LiveCode user by quickly installing the
latest version for him or her. I'll just grab the latest version from
the server and that's it. If this version looks official but appears to
be unstable, it will put off this potential new user and RunRev will
have one potential customer less.

For listmembers: Yes, we should know and wait for an announcement
Non listmembers: No, how should they know these versions are not final.
At http://livecode.com/download/ there is link near the bottom labeled "View all
Livecode Downloads"
Clicking on that link opens a folder with subfolders labeled according
available version numbers. And in folder 6.5.2 there are Installers for the
community and the commercial version. Some have an additional rc in their
names. But there are also installers without any rc or dp in their names.
So one would assume these are final versions.
Either RR should label theses versions correctly, if they really are not final
or RR should avoid placing them wrong labled in a public download folder.
Just imagine a new customer without access to the mailinglist where the announcements are posted,
downloads such a "buggy" "wrong labled" version.
How should she/he know what is final and what not?
Regards,
Matthias
