1) Release Information
SharpDevelop2 has reached
feature-freeze, which means that no new feature areas will be added –
the feature set is locked down for release. The main focus now is on
fixing issues, and this is where the team once again asks for your
help – please report bugs, unexpected behavior, et cetera. To make
our testers' lives easier, do include a step list on how to reproduce
the problem as well as expected vs experienced behavior – that way,
the bugs can be entered faster into our bug tracking system, which is
world-accessible at the following URL:
http://bugtracker.sharpdevelop.net/
Project name: Corsavy (SD2)
Check there first to see if the issue
has already been reported, if not, please go to
http://community.sharpdevelop.net/forums/23/ShowForum.aspx
This forum is the main forum during the
betas of SharpDevelop2.
