Topic: SME 7 base Updates obsolete? SME 8 still Beta?? Time to work hard on..

[chris burnat]

We certainly do need the SME 8 ASAP as Win 7 w/s issues are pressing.

Other than checking the current beta (downloading for testing right now - have tested previous betas too), is there anything else that the team needs to facilitate the release? Or is there a list somewhere to check? IE, is there anything we can do to help?

Thanks for your interest. Yes, you and others can help.  8.RC1 is about to be released. It does not differ very much from 8.0b7, only a few additional packages fixing known issues. Serious testing will be required as soon as an ISO is available to facilitate a final release ASAP.  You may wish to subscribe to the updatestream list (updatesteam@contribs.org) for more detailed info, checking posts over the past few days should get you up to speed. Any issues should be reported to the Bugtracker.  Verification of fixes would be welcome, we are a little thin on the ground at the moment.

I couldn't find the list you mention. lists.contribs.org has updatesannounce, but no updatestream or updatesteam@contribs.org.
