More than two years ago we release Ant 1.5.2 after a series of beta releases. It took about six hours before the first serious bug report came in and we knew we'd have to create Ant 1.5.3 - released just five weeks after 1.5.2.
Back then it made Conor write a blog entry about the value of beta testing and how it doesn't seem to happen anymore when your product matures.
Now we have Ant 1.6.3 (after four weeks of 1.6.3beta1) and it took fourteen hours between the announcement and the first serious bug report. <javah> is broken. Looks like a 1.6.4 release has to come soon.
Maybe we should stop making beta releases and simply call them final releases to get more testers.
