ok, where's the news?
If you don't want serious extension compatibility issues, wait until all of your extensions include compatiility for deer park.
Care to say it's the fiorst beta and some things may go insane.

Just like the public beta for plus
doesnt really make you an official beta tester if you use a public beta. Anyway you can get the latest builds with the nightlys.

quote:There's a difference between using and testing. Users just use. Testers specifically try to break a program, to find bugs that no-one else may find. If they have access to the code, they then may submit a fix for the bug. If not, then they submit a bug report.

Not everyone has the time or the skill to properly test a program.
