Question about closed tests

[stefanstr]

Hi everyone,

I have only been around since Alpha 6 so I haven't experienced a new release yet.

My question: whenever Tynan is ready with the changes, does the next Alpha get released immediately, or are there any closed tests before that? If so, how long do they take and who are the testers?

[Raufgar]

Ty will usually have a call for Closed Beta Testers before the next version is released, so keep an eye out. Based on past experience, the timing is getting close Closed testing usually (AFAIK) takes about a week or 2, depending on the complexity of the new build.

Thanks Raufgar. Good to know.

I'm going to hedge a guess and say 2-3 weeks for this one.  There's a LOT of new stuff in A7.
