MediaMonkey 3.0.x Testing

by rusty
We're begining a new round of testing for MediaMonkey 3.0. This is a major release that adds a fair bit of new functionality (only some of which is complete at this stage).
The most recent 3.0 build will always be in the most recent post in this thread. To be notified of future builds, just subscribe to the thread.
Before you rush into downloading it, remember that
it's an Alpha build and contains a variety of changes that have not been thoroughly tested. The software is being provided for feedback and testing purposes by advanced users who are comfortable with pre-release software. If you plan on testing it, take precautions to backup your data to protect against data loss during installation or usage.

MediaMonkey 3.0 Alpha 6 (3.0.0.1050)
Posted: Mon Jul 16, 2007 5:28 pm
by rusty
Here's Alpha 6. Lots new and improved including another new skin, improved search, performance and stability improvements and plenty of other bug fixes.
Before you rush into downloading it, remember that
it's an Alpha build and contains a variety of changes that have not been thoroughly tested. The software is being provided for feedback and testing purposes by advanced users who are comfortable with pre-release software. Take precautions and backup your data/files to protect against data loss during installation or usage.
Please keep the feedback coming, but keep in mind that at this point our focus will be on testing and bug fixing.
p.s. one note about the size of MM betas: you can expect them to slim down--they include debug code which inflates their size.

MediaMonkey 3.0.0.1089 (beta4)
Posted: Sun Oct 14, 2007 7:06 pm

Announcing Beta 4--our last beta. We've fixed most of the open critical bugs, and also did a fair bit of optimization. I think you'll find this to be a huge improvement over previous betas.
Note that the software is being provided for feedback and testing purposes for users who are comfortable with pre-release software. Take precautions and backup your data/files to protect against data loss during installation or usage.
Please keep the feedback coming, but keep in mind that our focus at this point is only on critical bugs.

At long last...RC-1. Fixes upon fixes upon fixes, and MM is now just about ready for regular usage.
