Walddk Posted April 25, 2005 Report Share Posted April 25, 2005 I have seen Beta in this context several times, and I am not any wiser. Sorry for my ignorance, but would anyone care to tell me what a Beta version is? Is there also an Alpha version? All I know is that Alpha and Beta are the first 2 letters in the Greek alphabet (funnily enough!). Roland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inquiry Posted April 25, 2005 Report Share Posted April 25, 2005 Alpha is the first attempt at new release of a program, usually tested by the programmers and perhaps a small subset of knowledgable users. The reason it is a small group is that it may have ugly warts and may crash and burn the computers it is installed on (of course NEVER FRED and UDAYs alpha versions). After you think you have a fairly stable release, or stable release, you give it to a wider number of users and let them use it to see if they uncover problems you didn't think about (mabye they have older operating systems, maybe there is conflict with some resident program, maybe they do things wiht the software the alpha testers would never consider so uncover bugs that were missed). The test versions Fred post here would be "beta's" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred Posted April 25, 2005 Report Share Posted April 25, 2005 Good summary, Ben, but I have to admit that from time to time I spring the occasional alpha release on my tolerant and resiliant friends who read forums :) Fred GitelmanBridge Base Inc.www.bridgebase.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abadaba Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 OMIGAWD!!!!! This new version is a TD's dream - if only it did nit allow the TD to have the option of not allowing to pick their own sub without the TD knowing about the replacement - it would be purrrrrrrrrrrrrrfect!

pigpenz Posted April 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 having been a beta tester for various software companies, some final release products are a continual beta test on the buyers. :lol: Sometimes a beta tester is like a crash test dummy But what is time consuming is always having to go check to see if there aer sitouts and red marked players, it would be nice if it could be automatically done ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pigpenz Posted April 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2005 Yes, Fredthanks for the one click option and the TD pulldown for a player. It was getting so annoying with those chat windows that would always want to open when someone msg's that a player is gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
