The next Testing Core Team IRC meeting to discuss 11.4 Milestone 4 will be held December 6 at 1800 UTC.

The release of openSUSE 11.4 M4 has been delayed until Monday, November 29. The results of the automated testing implemented by Team member Bernhard Wiedermann indicated that Build 0906, which was a potential M4 candidate, was not suitable, but that Build 0908 would install without errors. Congratulations to Bernhard for his efforts. Trying to test a version that will not install is hardly the best way to encourage testing.

I have just begun to test M4 myself. Thus far, the NET install CD was used to upgrade from M3, and to build new installations on both real and virtual machines. My special interest is wireless networking - no serious problems found yet.

I hope the readers will test this version, and post bugs on the Novell Bugzilla.
