Test boards/ Area 51 version?

Post by Fost »

Is there any way to tell which version of the board software Area 51 is using?
Also, is there anywhere we can find links to boards it's ok to test on?


I'd like to help with testing, but for me that would be easiest without having to install a board myself. At least I could then work through the feature list and check everything is working as it should.

This board is always the latest there is to download from the CVS pages so it's Beta 1 plus a bit more.

Hmm, are you 100% sure about that?

I submitted a bug regarding flash bbcode a week ago. the bug is now marked as fixed, but this board still exhibits the broken behaviour - so I'd like to find a beta 1 test board to check it on before resubmitting the bug.

This board generally is either slightly ahead of the cvs (ie, code they are testing before commiting it) or slightly behind (ie, they only update it to the latest cvs every week or two, since they have better things to do. Like coding). Hence this is not a completely representative view of what is contained in the current cvs version. It's close, but, no cigar.

Oh well. I think I'll just start downloading the latest version and installing it on my own test board then. Seems like the safest option for making the most accurate reports and saving the developers the most time. Which is of course the point.
