Our beta viewers are often several iterations ahead of the main release, include newer Linden features and work in progress features from us. We do our best not to release a broken beta, but it can happen.
- You MUST get in touch if you spot something that isn't behaving correctly. Finding bugs in the beta before they end up in release is the whole point!
- Be a bit OCD with an urge to press every button you find, or repeat the same actions over and over just to find a repo.
- There is no guarantee that you will be able to use the latest beta viewer.
- Updates are forced and might not work for you at all (rare, but you know .. it could happen).
- Personal settings to be wiped without warning.
- Crash reports may submit significantly more data. Catznip:Privacy_policy.
