Alpha (developer) versions

Help us testing! We have some new functions under development and would like them to be tested by more people before making the next official release.

Especially, support for BD drives has been introduced and needs more field testing. The image compatibility test described in the Howtos section is very useful for testing new drives. Please report both positive and negative results so that we can get a better picture of how the new formats are working.

A word of caution: The alpha versions might lock up the drive and/or the operating system and require you to reboot. They might contain other bugs and should not be used to process media containing important data.

If in doubt, please continue using the stable version 0.70 and wait for the release of version 0.72.
