Hi, Im having the problem with the spoof error with the installer. Ive followed instructions in other thread about getting installer from other source but still get same problem. Where can I download version 0.8.3 so I can install with diskimager.

Thanks

You can find the direct download links in this xml file, which is used by the installer:

But why do you want to use such old version? Give the current Alpha4 a try

I think the 'Alpha' name doesn't really fit the status as users think of it. I will explain the cycle (it's a guess as I am not someone who decides on this):

Alpha - Testing editions while we still add new features
Beta - No new features allowed, only bugfixes
RC - Could be a release version but should be tested by many before we are sure. If no bug are found, it is simply renamed to Final. If there is, another RC will see daylight.
Final - Once a RC does not contain known bugs anymore.

Our current 1.0 Alpha 4 is afaik already better than 0.8.3 Final. Still it misses some features we'd wilke to see included in 1.0 as 1.0 is gonna be our 'main pilar' when developing further. So all our 'main features' should be included in 1.0 already.

Remember that Alpha also still contains bugs we haven't been able to fix until then. Also, an alpha still hasn't reached the milestones for a stable.
