Do you use NTLite beta's?

  • Thread starter Thread starter Clanger

Yes, not as much as i used to do but i still use them on occasion.
 
As i suggested Garlin - give beta a separate thread.
Test subjects are always welcome as the pharmaceutical industry demands.
 
No, but I've been using Windows 10 so there aren't many interesting new features for me.
 
Nightlies for the win.

Main upgrade in the beta is the post-setup page, this short testing period is just to see if people have old preset loading issues, or don't like the UI changes.
Plan is to release it next Tuesday as stable, if such a report does not come or is fixed before it.
 
I carry out tests with it (portable version which however does not remain updated) above all to "understand" what to expect from the new version

Nuhi, I found you 2, 3 bugs :eek: :p

Not tested with beta, but it should be there too ;)
 
Clanger I think a poll would be better and anyone who wants can comment in more detail.

I understand that the purpose of the topic is to know how many people use the beta version in general, not the current one specifically.

I always used the beta in the past, but then it stopped existing and came back again. I've had little time so I've preferred the stable version, but who knows maybe that will change in the future. The new features in post-setup are interesting :)
 
I'm always behind a few releases, so that I have the "you're using an old NTLite" experience. Helps me bond with the newbies.
 
Still wondering why I am rocking a Dec 2023 build as the main release?

Didn't we used to get a new "official" about every month or so?

Whatever is going into the next one - has been "going in" for a long time

Longer the cook the better the app

While I would love to believe that - it is most certainly not always the case.

Please explain pertaining to this app? This app has never let me down and if there was a issue it got solved. In Ntlite I trust the process and development!

I am not saying the NT lite is letting anyone down. (or has let anyone down) but "baking" something longer - does not always mean "better".

I am saying that (historically speaking) NT Lite "usually" has an official production release about every month of so.

But here we are going well past three months since the last one - and I am just wondering why is all.

He has stated this update was going to take longer but worth the wait.
