I was wondering, is there a beta test/update quarantine phase for calibre releases?
I think every release should first be made available to people who agree to participate in the beta tests. That way all these regressions would stop making simple folk mad (here i mean my sister, as i am the one who introduced her to calibre so I have to provide her 'customer support' as well
Anyway, back to the point, there should be a checkbox in settings that enables beta program participation. if one checks that box then they receive notification of the new release immediately and those who dont check it, get notified after a predefined time period.. say a couple of weeks?
It would also release some of the pain of entirely too frequent updates for the general users and still keep people like me happy, i.e those of us who love to see bugs :P and report on them would still get a healthy dose of freq buggy releases. By Choice.
Now back to Singularity Sky
