Mentioned on the ML http://lists.scribus.net/pipermail/scribus/2014-June/050428.html Some other related issues that have been discussed: FirasH has pointed out that on machines that use SSD the splash screen is almost invisible (because loading speed is so fast). So I think we may need to go a little extra than just altering the Splash screen. Ideas: 1. Append to the title of the Scribus window "Experimental Build not to be used in Production Environment" (or some variant) 2. Embed in the grey background behind the canvas (perhaps diagonally repeating) a watermark that says something like 'Experimental Build'. This would be repeated redundantly. |

well, if the first proposal is accepted (or any variation of it containing mr. adams text), i will be pleading for a button in the toolbar (or status bar or a main menu), with the words "DON'T PANIC" in large, friendly, letters. it would show a dialog explaining what a development version is and would have links to the wiki and this bug tracker. |

@ale this "Don't Panic' button makes sense because it encourages folks to fill out bug reports and educates them in the process . Also perhaps there could be a list of known issues that would be listed that we know of that people could decide if they wanted to run this in production or not. |

I still vote that we should do this for svn versions |

It was a good idea but not likely due to lack of response. |
