The current beta contains a serious bug in the v-rescale thermostat, which renders it nearly useless. I think second beta might be good.<br>

quality code at a predictable time, and the fewer things we submit to master branch, the easier it is for me to do that job! ;-) If you need/want some code in the release, then it needs to be in Gerrit with Doxygen, user docs and test cases... real soon now!
And get your reviewers interested in advance, because they're all super busy people. :-)<o:p></o:p></p>

out for several months; there's various other such examples). Instead, I'll use that month to prioritise the kind of exhaustive testing that has been too onerous for me to contemplate doing after a multi-month beta phase. Hopefully some of my new testing infrastructure
can be reviewed and integrated by then, to make that easier.<o:p></o:p></p>
