Well folks, we are now coming into the home stretch of another long
development cycle, and its time for more vigorous and extensive testing
...
Last night, we bundled up Beta4, which is the first one that we've
officially announced "publicly", with the other 3 having been only
announced on -hackers ...
This release, depending on the bug reports received, will most likely flow
into our first Release Candidate by end of next week, so we encourage
every(and any)one that can to download and test her, so that our first
Release Candidate can be as clean as possible ...
As we did the bundling last night, most mirrors should already have a copy
of it available under /pub/source/v7.4 ...
We've also started to bundle up bzip2, along with the .gz files, for those
that wish to download those ... with appropriate md5 files ...
