Testing
-------
Although the first beta version of QuickDNS 3.0 isn't feature complete, the code quality is good. The application has been tested in-house and by select beta testers, and we believe that we've ironed out most of the bugs. However, keep in mind that this is beta software, and you should expect some problems.
We use TestTrack for keeping track of open issues. A customized version of SoloBug, a freeware companion for TestTrack can be downloaded from our FTP server (ftp://ftp.menandmice.com/pub/quickdns/SoloBug.sit.hqx). Please use SoloBug when submitting new bug reports.
Send bug reports to: mailto:bugs@menandmice.com

A mailing list has been created for QuickDNS Pro 3.0 beta testers. The name of this list is quickdns-beta:
List-Subscribe: <mailto:quickdns-beta-on@lists.menandmice.com>
The mailing list is intended for general discussions and announcements regarding the QuickDNS Pro beta.
Please contact us at mailto:bugs@menandmice.com if you have any questions or problems downloading and installing the application.
Pricing for the upgrade has not yet been determined.
QuickDNS 3.0 is not for Mac OS X. We're currently working on a Mac OS X version and we will make further announcements regarding Mac OS X soon.
Best regards,
Sigurdur
