Few updates about what’s come and gone in miro testing lately.
Souce and Nightly Build testing:
Source repositories: a few week ago we migrated from using subversion to git.  If you’d like to keep track of the code checkins, you can view the changes here: https://git.participatoryculture.org/miro/log/?showmsg=1 .  It’s useful to see  the regular changes if you are [...]

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.

Windows 1.1 rc
OS X 1.1 rc
Source 1.1 rc

The biggest change for 1.1 relates [...]

Fixed thumbs.db files so it is not discovered and added to New list.
Fixed a unicode error that was causing crashes.
Fixed a Keyerror that was causing crashes.
Fixed playlist folders [...]

The big news for this week is the test of release candidate testing. Looks like we are getting some good download numbers and people running some of the litmus tests.
It would be great if we could get a lot of participation in this round of testing, and we are off to a [...]

Weeks end: Summary for October 8, 2007
There was a fair amount of changes implemented this week. The main area that could use your attention is testing the migration of file storage.
Previously there were some errors with migration that would occur when a user would elect to change the storage location while playing a video. [...]
