[[6.6.4] No cron job running during the night]

Just checked my log files and I can confirm that cron isn't running as the scripts that should be triggered aren't running.

[[6.6.0.rc4] The next branch doesn't announce the release of 6.6.0 final]

Running next branch implies that you are willing to put in the extra time to interact with the forum to help with issues that may come up. Either pointing them out and posting diagnostics, or suggesting changes that would improve things.

 

If you don't want to visit the forums and keep current, don't run the next branch.

Sorry but public testing should be about ensuring more hardware combinations are tested than would otherwise be the case. Hence you do need multiple people to test the software as ideally you want your test team to reflect all your customer base.

 

And regardless of that I do visit the site - I do visit it prior to installing any rc release (to ensure there isn't an obvious showstopper making installing it pointless) and then afterwards to see if there are any issues that could impact what I use the system for. The issue here is that 3 days after installing it (unless I see problems that I needed to report ) I have no need to revisit the forums...

Yes, and the linked post explains why it didn't.

And that argument is fine. However, it would mean that unless I had visited this forum I would have continued to run 6.6.0-rc4 until the Next branch revealed 6.6.1-rc1 and my system prompted me to update it (after all previously rc releases have been the latest "test" release for months).. And you can test a system without visiting this forum, the only reason for doing so would be if something went wrong and you needed to report the bug..

 

As I said it's a slight annoyance - I just wanted to highlight the risk that unless people are told about the final (general / production) release when we get to 6.6.1-rc1 a lot of testers could be moving to that from 6.6.0-rc4 rather than 6.6.0...
