Beta Program
Help make the next release of DQMH software our best yet!
As a member of the DQMH Beta Software Program, you can take part in shaping DQMH software by test-driving pre-release versions and letting us know what you think. The feedback you provide will help us identify and fix issues, and make the product even better.
What is a beta version?
For each major release of DQMH, we usually publish pre-release (or “beta”) versions of the toolkit. These versions have been thoroughly tested - our extensive test plan is executed by multiple testers - but may still be incomplete or contain errors. In order to identify those hard-to-find issues, we make pre-release versions available to the public so the community can expose them to their projects and use cases.
How do I participate?
Simply by downloading and installing a version that's labelled “beta”:

Seeing as the purpose of a DQMH beta version is to make sure the major release is actually stable, there is no need for betas once the major release has been published. This means that beta versions will not be available throughout the year but only while a new release is imminent.
Disclaimer
The updates that you’ll receive as a part of the beta program are pre-release versions, and may contain errors and defects that can affect the normal functioning of your application.
The beta version may differ from the final version and/or a final commercial version may not be released.
You will not be able to revert back to a stable public version of DQMH once you've updated a module to a beta version. We recommend creating backups of your work before upgrading.
We reserve the right to share and remove beta versions from our download section as we see fit.
