ASP release candidate
ASP release candidate
I see that Adobe has a LR 4.1 release candidate now that fixes some bugs. Later there will be a normal release after users have reported bugs and they have been fixed. Corel should also have release candidates so that people who enjoy helping companies as unpaid QA employees can get the quality level up before making it a normal release that Corel expects people to pay for.
Re: ASP release candidate
The other problem with release candidate distributed to users is they notice anything that they don't like or would like to have and don't check things added in the candidate...
Re: ASP release candidate
Well, I got ASP 1 and just wanted to use it for my work and I didn't even push it too hard but found so many bugs (which I reported to Corel) that I finally found it to be unusable in its current state. So, it just sits there unused on my hd waiting for a release quality version to take its place. I didn't go in trying to find bugs, but I still discovered so many serious ones that I had to give up using it. Therefore, just normal use found many bugs that, apparently, Corel couldn't find...or could find and chose not to fix.PaKaL wrote:The other problem with release candidate distributed to users is they notice anything that they don't like or would like to have and don't check things added in the candidate...
Having a free release candidate or beta release for people who want to use it and do free QA work for Adobe sounds pretty good to me and a reasonable trade for many people. It doesn't cost anything for the people who want it and Adobe gets the help of volunteers. People who don't want to be part of the volunteer QA staff can wait until the official non-free release which should be in much better condition. Corel does the same thing except they don't call it a release candidate and don't give it away for free. They use their paying customers as their free QA staff. Not good, IMO.
I suggest that Corel also make use of free QA staff who volunteer to find bugs in their products (ASP in this case) and who receive the release candidate and/or beta for free. Then when it is in pretty good shape put it out there as an official release for the paying customers.

When ASP was Bibble 5, they would do this.

Re: ASP release candidate
A Release Candidate is not the same as a Beta - an RC is an all-but-finalised version of the software which is released partly just in case there are last minute issues not found in the development and Beta phases, and partly (and to a significant degree) to get something out to the users as soon as possible.

If you change your locale to Rest of Europe English, you can reach it from Italy as well as Belgium. But as Loup Marin says, there is no point, because no programs are open.afx wrote: Which is not reachable from German IP addresses...
