Become a Tester

As OpenCutList continues to grow, it's becoming an increasingly comprehensive and complex tool. For the development team, it's difficult—and sometimes impossible—to avoid missing a few minor bugs before a new release.

This is exactly where your support can be a real help to the project. By becoming a tester, you contribute directly to improving the software's stability and quality.

Here's how you can help:

1. Download and Install the current DEV build here.

2. Share your feedback, feature requests and report any unexpected behavior or bug you find by writing to us in the SketchUp forum or by email at: [email protected].

Your collaboration is invaluable for the future of OpenCutList!

FAQ

What is a DEV build ?

A Development Build (DEV Build) of OpenCutList is a version compiled directly from the latest source code release.

This version is not signed by Trimble. This technical difference allows us to push out updates quickly and regularly, ensuring you get the fastest possible fixes and the newest features without the delay of the official signing process.

This version contains the latest features. However, these features may not be fully complete or translated in all languages.

How to Update ?

The update process is similar to the official release. If a new build is available, an orange dot indicates it in the bottom left corner of the OpenCutList window.

Make sure you always have an up-to-date version before reporting a bug.

Not all changes are necessarily indicated in the ChangeLog. Just make sure the build number is the most recent one.

A little reading tip: the build number is actually the compilation date in format YYYYMMDDHHMM

Can I use a DEV Build in production ?

While we do our best to never release a broken version, it's clear that this version will be more prone to bugs. Use it wisely. And rest assured that the best way to test software is in the real world.

And if it makes you feel better, our team uses it for production.
