You seem to be taking the complaints about Beta/Alpha personally.
I can say for myself (and most probably for everybody that posted on
this topic) that any comments are not and were never ad hominem. It
wouldn't make any sense anyway. You are doing an excellent job and you
can not be blamed for a common decision (or lack of). If this
situation happened is because we all failed. Beta0 should have been a
very internal test build given that the tinderboxes had been failing
for months (and still are working quite irregularly for Windows, at
least)

I'm certainly glad to hear that ;)
If you need some testing on a Windows machine, just yell ;)

May I suggest that this is added to the scripts ASAP instead of
leaving it for later? In June (3.6 planned release date) no one will
remember this discussion.

Kind regards,
