TestX announcement (additions)
- link to Known Issues in Psi-VER-test - this should be a thread pinned in the Beta Discussion forums, created before the announcement topic is being published - new users will look there after they download Psi
- ask the users for reviews/updates of the following pages (sections):
- Tips and Tricks
- Installation Guide#Linux - update Linux install instructions for various distributions (you never know when somebody asks)
- Linux Build Instructions#Compile and install
- some distros have exotic ways of compiling & installing Psi (we should have this covered especially for *BSD; well, yeah.. it's not a Linux... but...)
- we don't need to have this in the release announcement since there's a link to it in Installation Guide#Linux
- add link to Debug Psi on Linux
- it's a test version, so we might as well add this link too
- maybe a similar page should be created for Windows
