[rkward-devel] Preview releases of RKWard 0.4.9b and 0.5.0d

[Thomas Friedrichsmeier]

Hi!

A month ago, we've released of RKWard 0.5.0c to address some of the more 
important bugs. We were in a bit of a hurry, then, as we hoped to get 
included in a feature of a large German computer magazine (unfortunately that 
did not work out). Due to that hurry, a number of further known bugs were not 
addressed in 0.5.0c, and we did not release a KDE 3 version at that time.

Time to address that: I've uploaded initial test releases of both RKWard 
0.4.9b for KDE 3 and 0.5.0d for KDE 4 at 
http://rkward.sourceforge.net/temp/rkward-0.4.9b-test1.tar.gz and 
http://rkward.sourceforge.net/temp/rkward-0.5.0d-test1.tar.gz respectively. 
The focus in both releases is on bugfixing (which is why I'm still not 
increasing the version number), but for the KDE 3 branch this is also the 
first time that Meik's set of plugins on item response theory is made 
available in a release.

To make sure the upcoming official releases are as solid as possible, I'd like 
to ask you to download and test either version (or of course both, if you can 
test on both KDE 3 and KDE 4).

-- Testing --
The first round of testing will be open for one week, until Wednesday, May 3. 
Please try to provide your feedback until that day. Please mention each and 
every issue that you find, even if it might have previously been mentionend 
on this list or elsewhere.

Depending on the outcome of your testing, we will then decide how to proceed.

-- Translations --
Since these are bug-fix releases, existing translations should not need any 
(substantial) updates. Of course you may want to use this opportunity to make 
some adjustments, or even to start a translation for a new language.

-- (Plugin) developers --
Please don't add any new features until the releases are done, or only after 
prior discussion on the -devel list. SVN will be open to feature additions 
once the releases are out, officially.

Regards
Thomas
