A note about the CVS version
by Scott Wheeler on Friday 13/Jun/2003, @05:12

Just to be clear -- a lot of people are trying the CVS version and coming away saying, "Hey, this isn't stable at all. This isn't release quality."

Simply put, you're right. It's not. That's why it hasn't been released. JuK has been under heavy development for the last several months -- there have been thousands of lines of changes and additions to JuK's code since 1.1. There are crashes and bugs that I am well aware of and will get to before the next release with KDE 3.2, which is many months away.

That said, if you're using the stable version - 1.1 and still experiencing problems, *please* report them. JuK 1.1 has very few known bugs; If more are reported I'll backport my fixes and release a 1.2.

HEAD is where a lot of the cool things happen, but at this point in the release cycle (several months before we even hit the feature freeze) things will be broken on a regular basis; this is just the nature of software development.
