Request: Intermediate beta builds

Post by FredPJ »

Like the title suggests, how about releasing intermediate beta builds? The development cycle for each version is a bit too long, and some of us like me who are just users wanting to test the new features don't have enough knowledge to build PCem (my programming days are way behind) so we have to wait for a new version or download unofficial builds. Also, I think intermediate builds would eliminate last minute corrections to a new main release since more people would be able to test and report bugs earlier.
I don't mean releasing a lot of intermediate builds in between each version, just one or maybe two would be enough. These intermediate builds would be released in a forum thread only, not at the main PCem website page. What do you think?

Either that, or someone with enough patience could write a very small tutorial on how to compile PCem :mrgreen:
That would be awesome
