Hello,
We are in the midst of development for Eos v2.5.1. We believe that this code is ready for a wider audience to have a look, and so you are invited to join the Open Beta process. The software is still actively under development, which means there is some risk associated with the code, but we believe it is minimal, and we always try it out in-house before pushing out to a wider audience. At that point, the more people who look at the software and try it out, the better we can all feel that we're not missing any major problems.
In order to join the Open Beta forum, have a look on the right side of the general Forums page (where you see all of the forums listed when you are logged in as a user). You will see a tile called "Open Betas." Click on that. You should then see a forum called Eos 2.5 Feedback. If you click on THAT - there is a bar across the top of the page, telling you to join the group. Clicking on that bar will automatically sign you up - no waiting on approvals from us. From that point, you will see the Eos 2.5 Feedback forum in the general topics forum
The latest build of 2.5.1 can be downloaded from the Eos v2.5 Feedback forum. Any commentary from your experiences with the v2.5.1 software should be noted there. Please be aware that the nature of Beta testing is that there may be a new build every few days, so you should be willing and prepared to keep up with the latest posted software on the Beta forum. Oftentimes, issues that are reported in the forums may be fixed within just a few days.
Also on the Feedback forum you will find a post called "Sticky Show List." If you download and use 2.5.1 on a show, please note it there. This helps us get an idea (together with the private beta forum) how much use 2.5.1 has had in the field prior to release.
Your help is much appreciated. We know the word 'Beta' can be scary. But we hope you'll find that the improvements we're working on make the risk palatable.
All the best! And thank you on behalf of the development team.
