IIRC - there was a similar one a few months ago.
Maybe all versions could be user tested before they're released, maybe by sending unpublished download links to a select few via a mailing list - give them the weekend to find any glitches and release on Mondays. (Idea derived from chaley's testing regime for CC).
BTW - I take a tiny bit of load off Kovid's servers - I download the windows and os/x installs to an ftp server, about 20 people I've introduced to calibre download from there. Most download every week; I can tell because they have to login to the server.
Re notification - a Quickfix Releases thread here could partially overcome the issues raised. Interested parties could subscribe to it. People with problems could take a look at it and MR Responders could refer to it. I think there's a way to get a thread to stick at the top of a forum's main list, that would be better than a sticky, I for one tend not to see emboldened sticky threads, see the first thread at the top of ==>>
