@page beta_release Beta Release
|
|
|
|
The beta version of Cockatrice features all the newest features before they make their way into the latest stable
|
|
release.
|
|
It allows us to test these features ahead of time and you to give feedback on them.
|
|
We release new betas very frequently and usually release a follow-up beta with a fix within a day or two if we break
|
|
anything. In contrast, stable releases are released much less frequently but ensured to be stable.
|
|
|
|
# What to Expect from the Beta
|
|
|
|
Using the beta and giving feedback on it helps us improve Cockatrice a lot.
|
|
We do not perform any automatic data collection so your voluntary feedback is the only way for us to get a sense of what
|
|
you enjoy, expect, or would like to change.
|
|
|
|
We highly appreciate your active participation and feedback.
|
|
|
|
That being said, some words of warning should be issued:
|
|
|
|
The beta release may contain unfinished features, bugs, or performance issues.
|
|
It is intended for testing and feedback and may be less stable than the default release.
|
|
|
|
We recommend using the beta only if you are comfortable encountering issues and helping us improve Cockatrice.
|
|
|
|
# Switching to the Beta
|
|
|
|
To switch to the Beta, navigate to your settings, using the Tab "Cockatrice → Settings" or Ctrl + Shift + P (default
|
|
shortcut).
|
|
|
|
Within the settings, in the first tab 'General', the first section 'Personal Settings' contains the setting 'Release
|
|
Channel'.
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Switch this to 'Beta'.
|
|
|
|
Afterwards, close your settings, and use the 'Help' tab to search for a client update. You should be prompted to install
|
|
the beta version.
|
|
|
|
# Switching back to Stable
|
|
|
|
Follow the same steps as above, but set Release Channel to 'Default'.
