If everone stays away from the pre-release they will have bugs left. The current rc release is more stable than 1.3.4, the code will become 1.4 if no bug is found anymore. So please test it. BTW, all Freevo releases (no matter if they have rc in it or not) are stable releases. > 1.3.4 just works.

This will be the case until 1.4 is out. But we won't accept bug report for anything older than rc2. > I warn everyone that is not really good at linux to stay away from any > release candidate out there, kernel, mplayer, gnucash, KDE.. it doesnt > matter.

Again, Freevo rc releases are very stable and the reason for the rc is to test it to find bugs. > the release candidates are for those of us here that are comfortable messing > about in configurations and trying to break it. we have daily snapshots for those people.
