Rickard Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 Is this planned during the development of the Mac client? If not nightly, at least a few refresh builds along the way? I would love to "keep up" with the development as new features are added and bugs are fixed.Cheers,Rickard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calcadium Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 Will new betas available be announced through mail? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 Nightlies? Likely no. Once again, time is never a meterstick by which the devs measure against to determine when to release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calcadium Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 so what is their "meterstick" then? EDIT:And of course, will new betas be announed through email? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelittlefire Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 I never got an email You pay attention to the announcements forum and you leave auto-update enabled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjk Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 We haven't really thought about providing more frequent releases or nightly builds.I'm not opposed to that and it could be helpful for us to get more testing on builds but we don't have a process for that figured out at the moment.

silentbobie Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 How about access to checkout the svn repository? You can just build it yourself with xcode when you download it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjk Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 Our code is not open-source so that won't happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelittlefire Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 Forgive my stupidity... isn't the MAIN code/core of this uT/Mac the same as uT... so I don't think they'll give you code access. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoOneButMe Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 @thelittlefire: did you even sign up for the uTorrent for mac announcement list? It's quite possible that you didn't get the announcement because you didn't actually sign up.@Calcadium: The meterstick is basically "when its close to being ready, a beta is here. Moves out of beta status when that's ready." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silentbobie Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 Sorry I forgot it was closed source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhast2 Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 I think you should do nightly builds as this will help with the development and can improve the client and it will allow for faster releases Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eisa01 Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 One argument for it, is that I imagine improvement is quite rapid in the early phases, so you won't get as much old bug reports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 Nightlies are probably unnecessary, but regular betas would be sufficient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antikorr Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 Putting my two cents in, I just want to agree with Firon. Regular betas would be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calcadium Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 @Calcadium: The meterstick is basically "when its close to being ready, a beta is here. Moves out of beta status when that's ready."Oh, no. I hope it won't be too long until 1.0 status. If there's something I love, it's new versions and new features/improvements Really hope you will concider nightlies though for specially interested users Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelittlefire Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 uTorrent doesn't cater to niche markets... but kjk said they will think about it. The only thing off limits right now is BYO uT/Mac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
