The beta version of Cockatrice features all the newest features before they make their way into the latest stable release. It allows us to test these features ahead of time and you to give feedback on them. We release new betas very frequently and usually release a follow-up beta with a fix within a day or two if we break anything. In contrast, stable releases are released much less frequently but ensured to be stable.
Using the beta and giving feedback on it helps us improve Cockatrice a lot. We do not perform any automatic data collection so your voluntary feedback is the only way for us to get a sense of what you enjoy, expect, or would like to change.
We highly appreciate your active participation and feedback.
That being said, some words of warning should be issued:
The beta release may contain unfinished features, bugs, or performance issues. It is intended for testing and feedback and may be less stable than the default release.
We recommend using the beta only if you are comfortable encountering issues and helping us improve Cockatrice.
To switch to the Beta, navigate to your settings, using the Tab "Cockatrice → Settings" or Ctrl + Shift + P (default shortcut).
Within the settings, in the first tab 'General', the first section 'Personal Settings' contains the setting 'Release Channel'.
Switch this to 'Beta'.
Afterwards, close your settings, and use the 'Help' tab to search for a client update. You should be prompted to install the beta version.
Follow the same steps as above, but set Release Channel to 'Default'.
If you encounter a bug or unexpected behavior while using the beta, please report it on:
When reporting issues, please include:
1.14.0
