Since no OS4 beta-testers have answered yes to my request, I have to assume that no OS4 beta-testers are willing to help in that regard. Therefore the original suggestion seems unworkable |
You are mistaken in your assumption as you didn't ask a "Yes or No" question, you posted the following request: Quote:
So this is a request for all OS4 beta testers, who are willing to help reproduce bugs found by others, to announce themselves. Hopefully we can get a good list together. |
And in my reply my first sentence was "I'm an OS4 betatester" so I did announce myself...
Granted the response from other testers wasn't overwhelming but I maintain that it's enough to use the words "OS4" and "crash" in the topic to get the attention of testers _________________ AlexC's free OS4 software collection

No such forum exists. At least, none that is OFFICIAL, and therefore none that most OS4 users/developers know about. (I certainly don't know which forum you are hinting at - if you meant "Amigans.net" as mentioned elsewhere in your post, that's a bit vague, since I guess I shouldn't post OS4 bugs in "Games/Amiga Classic"!).

| @pjs "go to the forum on AMIGANS.NET"
But a lot of people get annoying rash @ amigans.net.
A few years ago Amigaworld was the official channel. So now it's amigans.net???? (I hope not) Last edited by KimmoK on 10-Apr-2010 at 03:06 PM.

Just have short questions:
Is SAM version of OS 4.x not being BETA anymore?

Correct! It has not been "beta" since Update 1 of OS4.1 .

I get the impression you're too busy counting angels on your pinheads to catch what people are posting to you!

I wasn't "hinting" at anything... there wasn't anything "vague"... I was very specific and AlexC pointed you to an exact location...
http://www.amigans.net/modules/newbb/viewforum.php?forum=22
"OFFICIAL"? pffft!
The devs are there... the testers there.... the trolls aren't... get over the rest... get on with it...
Either you can get lost complaining about formalities and misinterpretations or just use the venue (repeatedly) presented to you?

Yes, true, I agree. I know there will always be more that can be done... By testers (myself), devs AND USERS.

| @pjs Oh common, CrhisH is right (and Opi too). There is must be some official, and normal way to report the aos4 bugs like Bugzilla or anything else, or anything official, which will be putted on the main Hyperion page, and will be avail for every legal user.
Now, its all looks not professional in term of reporting bugs. And you can say everything about time, or problems , or kind, but please, we ask all for real things: just something official to report bugs _normally_ to hyperion. Not some kind of "please try to found somethere someone and by some luck maybe report him bug, maybe if that bug was not reported, maybe it will be fixed, and if you will found someone, please be sure that he is tester or devel or not tester or user, or blablablal".
If we pay for it, then any answers are not interesting for us. For us interesting - result and normal work with users. Not like you pay, and be happy. Spare time, or not spare time, but there must be (must be) official way to report the bugs, which will be on main hyperion page. That is not our problem to think about how and who will do that. Even i can help (for free) with it. But just hyperion show us that they not interesting in it.
Its all can be disscussed, can be found the "gold middle true" how impove all of this, who can or cant report the bugs, where will be hosted the base of bugs and so on. You know, not only beta-testers and os-developers can found bugs.
And why you say ""OFFICIAL"? pffft!" ? Os for money ? Then OFFICIAL is here. If it will be 100% for free, then of course no one can crying and ask for something, but when we pay 100 eur, then, its OFFICIAL, and that answers who are devs, and how they found the time in their lives - not our problems. Welcome to money-world :) Last edited by kas1e on 11-Apr-2010 at 12:58 PM.

"Is SAM version of OS 4.x not being BETA anymore?"
The SAM version came out of beta with the release of Update 1.
This was in fact the first sentence of the press-release:
"Hyperion Entertainment CVBA announces the immediate availability for download of Update 1 of AmigaOS 4.1, the most substantial update to date, and bringing the Sam440 out of “beta”."
E-mailing Hyperion Entertainment at random e-mail addresses will help much.
@all: if you want to report bugreports on Update 1 of AmigaOS 4.1, please head over to the dedicated fora of www.amigans.net. I hope this is sufficiently official.
@all: final note. Hyperion's server (running Linux) will no longer be brought down by the distribution of updates. This issue has been dealt with.

How about a bug report area or link on Hperion's website for registered Amiga 4.x users in the future ?.

I already repost on here the message you say 2 times and 2 times the moderator delete. One time say nothing. 2 time say nothing can do about the personal attack on the PM. Please no post in public. So I leave alone.
Response a deleted too. Some respond.
Why you posting "Good Day!" and mock me, but not help answering me question?
You no want answer more professional no respond or say the "Sorry I am unable to answer at the time."
No you just post a mocking. :(

Of course I read them. I actually hurriedly re-read all of them before saying I could only see two.
I still await a useful answer to who the third one is (sometimes the obvious can be staring one in the face - or otherwise you may have a different interpretation of what I am asking for).

What's with the attitude? Someone scratched your car today?
Lots of OTHER people have complained about not knowing where to post OS4 bug reports. The obvious reason is that there is no official way, so no-one is sure how to do it. The WHOLE POINT about having a formal/official way to do something is that then everyone knows how to do it, there is no confusion or uncertainty, and we can get on with our lives without long stupid threads asking how we should do something (or just no bothering to do it in the first place - for which Hyperion looses out more than the person in question, since it means OS4 looks worse to everyone else)._________________ Author of the PortablE programming language.

Thanks, that clears-up a lot yes, but what about all the people who don't read this thread? What about putting some notice on Hyperion's home page, so there is never any question about how one should do it? (Ideally it would also be in OS4's documentation.)_________________ Author of the PortablE programming language. It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue... |

From the PM you posted there was no personal attack. If you have another PM where he actually personally attacked you feel free to PM it to a staff member. _________________ Pegasos2 G3 running AOS 4.1 and MorphOS 2.0 Amikit user, tinkering with Icaros VM (AROS) EFIKA owner Amiga 1200 |

Hello fairlanefastback !
I post you see it delete it. I think you right that Attack is the wrong word. Thank you fairlanefastback at least looking in it.
I have friend come sometimes better English than me helps me posting sometime to say what is meant saying.
He say response "Good Day!" is "insult". Not attack so much. He said it odd that a business would post that and it's a little confusing.
What you say, is posting "Good Day!" after my post I post that an insult? I like hear what you say Mr. fairlanefastback.
