In an open-source project (mine), on a hosting site operated by CollabNet, I posted my Windows binaries in a listing labelled "Development Builds" just as I have been doing from trunk for months. This is not different than TortoiseSVN, Subclipse or AnkhSVN which all post nightly builds so people can try our software. I did not post the source tarball, I posted my build of the Windows binaries and I will likely continue to do so as the branch progresses towards release. I made no special announcement about this, just as I have not for any of the other updates to the binaries I have made in the last several months. After building beta1 and running the performance benchmarks I simply posted the binaries for others to try them. I am not even the one that added a link to these binaries from the Subversion website. That said, I do encourage Windows users to download the binaries and continue to provide us feedback. There are no known show-stopper bugs in beta1, feel free to use at your own discretion. -- Thanks Mark Phippard http://markphip.blogspot.com/
