I just wanted to publicly thank the guys on the testing team – Oshyan, Fil, and Rhalph – for the work they’ve done.
About 150 bugs were found by these guys during the course of testing. Without them, a good number of those bugs would not have been found or fixed!
I can honestly say that this is the most stable and correctly-functioning version yet, and it has alot to do with the constant testing, including some truly bizarre and strange bugs that were quashed.
So they all deserve some applause. Without them, you would have had WM sooner but it wouldn’t have been even close to the same level of quality as it is now.
Yes, the long dev process is especially my fault. I’m sure Stephen would agree.
But seriously, it has been a pleasure to be involved in testing for WM, since I started it several years ago! I was not as able to participate in this test cycle as much as in the past, but I am ultimately pleased with my contribution, and of course with the final product. And I must say I was particularly impressed with the work Ralph and Fil did! They found a good majority of the “documented” bugs on this version, and considering the number of bugs and their time constraints, it is quite impressive.
It was my pleasure to chase bugs arround the world over different timezones; to crash WM so many times (some of them at frustrating places, right before saving the work); and to test-run WM on almost every different public PC I could grab in my university campus…
A part from those unexpected and wierd explorer bugs, My vote for the wierdest one goes to Rhalph’s discovery of a crash after deleting particular devices and only if you moved the “are you sure” window!
The “bug” that I am most proud of “discovering”, with the help of Rhalph, was the “April Fools” bug, on April 1st! It wasn’t a real bug, it was a manipulated screenshot, based on a voronoi with nasty spikes strategicaly placed at potentially problematic locations, with an attached tmd file that had a macro named “April Fools” in it. The terrain used for the bug was entirelly made with WM’s capabilities. It was a small prank we decided to pull on Stephen
but it wouldn’t have been even close to the same level of quality as it is now.
