I'm affraid that our users really don't understand what alpha/beta is. In remember have seen so much players saying they have 0.8.4 when the have only 0.8Beta4... > The only bug which I want to fix before we do an alpha release is bug 14828: > https://gna.org/bugs/?14828 > > Gentildemon, how much effort and time is necessary to make an alpha release? > It depends what you include in an alpha release ;) If you exclude translation freeze, it is basically just a packaged trunk. So it consists of creating a tag in the svn repository, creates the tar.bz2 (very easy with make dist-bzip), upload it somewhere. I'm not sure we will have more feedback with only a source archive, thus I guess that at least a binary for one operating system is needed. Creating the standalone for linux is quite easy with the scripts wormux_statifier.sh, but it does not run correctly on every distributions and is nearly impossible to debug. Updating the index server is just a matter of modifying the config file and restart it. For game servers, you need to rebuild it, modify the config file, and start it. That is not too long. If you only want that, it is only a matter of hours.
