This way we'll receive the required information about your system to fix the problems detected by the test suite (if any).

This would help us to detect any unintentional changes between the release candidates and general releases. Such real-life tests are the most valuable because our test suite does not yet cover every possible use case (but we're working on that). <br /> </td> <td width="10">&nbsp;</td> </tr> </table> <?php common_footer(); ?>
