Miro testing blog

We have gotten to the point where we can use a lot more volunteers to help us with the Miro 2.0 nightly build testing.  If you haven’t run any formal regression tests in the past - or are completely new to the testing team, here are some steps to get you started.

Go to the Litmus [...]

It feels like every aspect of my digital life has recently become cleaner, clearer, fresher, better.
I just updated to Firefox 3 RC3 today.  I am so psyched to be part of their world record setting download day.  I’ve also been running Ubuntu Hardy for a few weeks now, and of course I have been testing [...]

I think many people are hesitant to jump into testing because everyone knows that the nightly builds are  by definition, unstable, and people already have their channels set up just as they like them.
There are two ways you can preserve and restore your data prior to starting a test run, OPML export, or by copying [...]

Leading up to the 1.2.3 release, I was really happy to see that some new people signed up and helped us with the regression testing.
New testers like jan.s,  fixitguy, fox.box, tbutterfoss and strash joined some of our regular testers like i_therain, sedatg and elmargol to help get this release out.  I also received some emails [...]

I’d like to believe that we did the update releases for 1.2 just so that we could say that a few times… but we didn’t.
As I explained in an email to the mailing list, we really need to get more people involved in the testing so that we get more systems variation.
So I am hoping [...]

ok - so i lied -
We need some help testing the Miro 1.2 release candidate builds.
Last night Will posted the rc0 builds for the upcoming 1.2 release. There are some interesting bug fixes and updates included in this release as well as some serious behind the scenes changes.
Most interesting are some of the enhancements [...]

In the works, we have another short-cycle planned with a few key fixes. You can expect a call for help with the rc testing in a week or two. However, there are also some major changes going in the development background. Most recently Ben has done a bunch of frontend / backend [...]

Please use the links in the previous post to get the latest release candidate for testing. Or you can just go to the Nightlies page.
Will has posted RC1 and this is what he has to say:

Differences between rc0 and rc1: r5953 - fixed #9414: adds the r number in the About box on GTKX11

r5957 [...]

We are ready for Miro 1.1 RC testing to begin. You can run the tests in litmus - I recommend the 1.1 pre-Release testing, test run. Start with the Quicktest then move to the New Feature and Bug Fixes section.

Windows 1.1 rc
OS X 1.1 rc
Source 1.1 rc

The biggest change for 1.1 relates [...]

After some build troubles resulting from the change to libtorrent and a few other things, the nightly builds are back and better than ever.
We have changed over to using libtorrent for the torrent downloads. Along with this change we have updated the torrent preferences to allow users to configure the bandwidth rates for upload [...]
