No that is not acceptable. The alphas were so much better than this beta that everyone had a reasonable expectation that the beta would be even better. Instead this beta is much worse than the alphas. Really Rikardo, no point dodging the issue. These things happens but don't tell people their expectations for excellence were unfounded. To some people, 'bleeding edge' means the latest tested and mostly reliable software. A good example is Firefox Aurora. It's alphaware but I've been using it since Mozilla switched to rapid releases and rarely have I experience any issues. I realise that XBian doesn't have the resources of Mozilla but not utilising the users who are willing to help before a "release" is silly.

Full respect to the XBian people. I've been absent for quite a while so I can't really expect to whine too much without putting in the effort to help. However all humanity is imperfect. This was a bad release and rightfully has been pulled. Let's not deny it and move on.

I'm willing to do clean installs of 1A5 and then upgrade to beta if that is the testing scenario that needs more work.
