Hi,

Do the developers run the trunk against a set of test cases? For instance, testing the new release against files that compile successfully under the current stable release? I ask as I often see people complain that the new beta isn't working and so forth.

the beta not working concerns mkiv which is a moving target and we do have test files for specific issues; however one source of potential problems is that taco and my machine run full blown trees as well as minimals and we dont't test all permutations (so, if for instance a file is renamed a problem might not be seen due to the fact that we still have such a file somewhere else in the system); anyhow, that's why they're betas and we're lucky that we have testers Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
