If no problems just rename the beta to final release. I don't think it's a good idea to go from "alpha" to release with no testing. > > > I haven't seen much in comp.os.msdos.djgpp, but perhaps people > > > e-mail you guys directly. > > > > No, nothing much direct. > > Same here. Many people don't try "alpha" releases. It has also been a long time since any announcement, so people are either using it without problems, had problems and are waiting for the next release, or just never tried it. A clear beta announcement, which says that this will be the next 2.04 unless problems are found, will cause lots of people to test it. ------- End of forwarded message -------
