Hi Régis We have discussed beta versions many times through the years and consensus is always not to make a beta. We have nightly builds and an overloaded release manager, lets keep things simple and follow regular procedures as much as possible.
We discussed this (conveying to our users that the 3.0.0 may not be the most stable software on the planet) last night at the PSC meeting and our recommendation is that we will tweak the splash to include a message that this is an early version with a lot of big changes, use only after testing (Anita will come up with better wording). In a subsequent bug fix release (e.g. 3.0.x) we can remove that message from the splash. We felt this was the highest visibility way to message this to our users on all platforms regardless of the installation mode. Also for the bug fixing, lets give it a full month - there are a lot of other things that need to happen - like giving plugin authors time to port their work now that the API is fixed, getting the release visual changelog written, fixing bugs, packing for Mac etc. I’d also like to suggest that we move to using loomio more when an unequivocal decision is needed on these things so that we can all be clear on what was decided.
