Where have the "Test" builds gone?

Post by DevOpsUser »

Cannot find the "Test" builds in the new web-site. It used to be in "Community" area, but appears to be gone for good :(

It's not found at "Downloads" either.

Google can still find a deep-link to the "Test" builds, but that appears to be the only way to access them now.

BTW: AND WHY DOES EVERYTHING NEED TO BE SOOOOOOO BIG IN THE NEW DESIGN ???

(You know that browsers have a "zoom" functionality for people with really tiny screens or limited eyesight? :mrgreen:)

Here is where they hide the test builds: "https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Testbuilds"

May I also suggest that VirtualBox developers to withdraw version 7.1.0 Build 164728, as it is having serious bugs and not really functional. Then when the 2 main bugs are fixed (namely the network and 3D bugs) release it with the same version 7.1.0 but a new Build number.

Whatever you do, act professionally and do not leave a buggy release in GA circulation.

Yes, there's some (temporary) loss of some links from the re-styling project. Already a todo to bring them back.

Test builds link is back on the "Community" page. Should be possible to reach all the places as with the previous page style.

Thank you so much for update.
If Windows 11 keeps crashing or lagging in VirtualBox, double-check that you’ve enabled virtualization in BIOS, installed the Guest Additions, and allocated enough RAM and VRAM. Turning on I/O APIC and nested paging can also help performance. If you’re testing English skills for work, you might want to schedule your versant test after you’ve confirmed your VM is running stable.

Chance is high that stuff will be moving around (the designers are unhappy about the number of boxes) in the not too distant future, just as a heads up...
