Well - I would agree if we are talking about some GUI glitch what so ever.

But the breaking file cache is a regression which appeared yesterday and nobody up to 
now judged how critical this one is.

I cannot judge myself on this as I have neither the time nor any conceptual idea on 
what this file_cache is about.

Frank, in the worst case you have to send beta2 tomorrow as soon as one of the devs 
tonight on irc will have a look and say: Holy shit - what have I done!

Any tester on the community will need to rerun their testing within a short 
period of time and get for sure mad because it was a simple waste of time - waste of 
free time which could have been spent better with a good book, friends, family, sleep ......

It's a matter of profession from my point of view.

No problem - but it would be good to get some more support from the 
developers/community in terms of monitoring the builds and see, what is broken.


Take care,
