Please do not send problem reports to the mailing list. If you can give us valuable hints about a problem during the beta phase, we promise to do our best to assure that this problem has been fixed in the final product release. Before we make beta versions available for downloading, we thoroughly test them and use them for our internal projects ourselves. Nevertheless, beta versions can still contain bugs that can make your computer crash and cause loss of data. Every beta version comes with a document that describes the changes and also gives an estimated release date for the final version.
Beta versions are always time-limited.
However, we will have either a new beta or the final version ready for distribution before a beta version expires.
