Alpha / Beta is limited to the testers.
There have sometimes been 2 or more releases in a day if a bug was
picked up quickly and fixed the same day or if a suggestion has been
made and Dave has leapt on it as a quick win. With that frequency
letting them loose in the wild would be a nightmare even given that most
of the releases are RC standard really.

The binaries work fine in Ubuntu 8.04 and now 8.10.
They have to because I bill myself as the "out of the box" Alpha
tester ;-) I don't do compile unless desperate and then I need
instructions.
I have let slip testing PSKmail with the alpha's but the dark winter
nights are now on us so I may get back to doing a bit more on that
front.
My feeling is we can't be that far from an Fldigi upgrade not that I
have any inside knowledge
