Beta Testing

Beta Testing goals

The goal of beta testing and QA (quality assurance) is the following:

1. Make sure that everything that was working on previous versions is still on the new one.
2. Make sure your local rules still work and it can parse all your logs.
3. Make sure that all the new features work as expected.
4. Bugs reported were properly fixed.
5. Make sure that the upgrade process still works on all platforms.
6. We need to make sure it compiles fine on all platforms and operating systems. Try it on Solaris, NetBSD, FreeBSD, AIX, HP-UX, any Linux distribution that you have.
7. On Windows, make sure there are no false positives regarding our new Windows policy violation checks.

Using the 090202 snapshot on 2 i386 OpenBSD 4.4-current (almost 4.5-beta) machines, one server one agent (both upgrades). Everything I use seems to be working, although I couldn't get it to work with the old prelude port (updated ports fix this). Still testing agentless since I didn't have expect installed.
