July 8, 20169 yr I read all the big fixes and new addditions, YEAH but one thing irks me, what does it have to phone home...... anyone? just curious License key. Until final release, limetech wants the ability to stop the array from starting if there is a show stopper bug found in a specific release. I suspect (no knowledge, just leap of logic) that beta builds will be denied startup after the final release is found to be stable and probably a grace period. I think they want to avoid the extreme user support base fragmentation that has happened with people still running 5.x beta releases. Betas and RC's are not intended for long term use.

Ok that's make sense, I can live with that.
July 8, 20169 yr I hope not. Occasionally (rarely) betas work on certain combinations of hardware better than rc/final. In the 5 series I stayed with the betas as my cheapie hardware would continually give me trouble with the finals but ran without a hitch on the betas Sent from my LG-D852 using Tapatalk

July 8, 20169 yr Author Did you read the Original 6.2 beta announcement linked in the rc1 announcement? Yes, it was quite long and there's a ton of info. I hope that when production 6.2 comes out it can automate the steps that are outlined in the 6.2 announcement.
