Developers:
Users: What you have to be aware of:
- Once a developer reaches the point in development of his feature/bugfix/rework, where it can be tested by the community, he opens a thread in this forum section
- There he will share information about the change itself, a changelog and provide a binary or a download link to an installer
- Everyone can then download the installer or the binary and test it
- Feedback then has to be posted inside the thread
- There might be more versions to test over time, depending on the test results
- Once the change is stable, the team will plan the integration into the master (i.e. the next release version)
Users: What you have to be aware of:
- Install builds are for testing only!
They can be highly unstable. They can, although unlikely, cause loss of your current installation data (database, settings, fanart, all sorts of userdata) - Developers will only release a new installer when they feel it is ready - asking them continuously will not speed up the process
- Any chit-chat in these threads will be removed as it just makes the threads unreadable.
