Please give it a spin and reply to this list with a description of any issues you discover. We are planning a public release on Wednesday 4/6, so please get back to us as soon as possible with any problems.
Currently, the release is available on Windows. There are two versions available--for Visual Studio 8 Pro and Visual Studio 9 Pro. If you are not using the API, you may download either version.
For specific testing activities, there is a list of tasks available at:
https://simtk.org/pm/task.php?group_id=91&group_project_id=1118
Feel free to pick any subset of these tasks. Let us know which tasks you have completed, by using the Task Manger or responding to this list, so that efforts aren't duplicated. Installing the application, trying to continue your regular use of OpenSim, and reporting any issues would be a great help. You can also try the APIExample or building a plugin. If you attended the most recent OpenSim workshop and encountered issues, please check to see if they have been resolved in this release.
***If you do find an issue or bug, please include the model, data, and setup files that produce the problem.***
Thanks for your help and we look forward to your feedback.
