Improve Beta Test Information

Question

MIDI Target Manufacturer(s): Other/Unlisted Maker

I am a relatively new member of the Beta Test group and find information isn’t readily available on new features or comments, at least for 2.200. Bug fixes usually refer to a question/comment in the Forum. New features are defined but not how to actually use them. It took a little digging to find that portrait mode is only available for New designs. I recall a warning that loading normal layouts in portrait mode could be destructive. I found that not true, at least in my case, but requires moving existing controls to fit the new layout size. This is to be expected.

I also would like to see my Beta comments and that of others. I don’t see any way to get this information. If someone reports a finding or an issue and I am not informed, I can’t replicate it. I have no way to test and comment on the findings of others

Also, I was not informed that the Beta for 2.200 added Stream Byter updates at the last minute with an anticipated release this month. I found it mentioned in the Forum. So I am unable to beta test but plan on eventually testing the SB updates out. I use both Input and Output Stream Byter codes in several layouts that I am planning on updating shortly.

One last thing. Going to TestFlight states Expires in 89 days. 89 days from when? That has never changed since I first opened it. But your entry on MDP Forum says it is planned for release in June. It would be nice to know the planned release date for Beta releases to schedule my testing accordingly.

Thanks, Don
