## Source excerpt

General Developments The release was delayed to take care of a series of regressions. That and I was busy so the changelog itself wasn't ready either. Anyways, every time a branch is created, Colin Finck, the release engineer, puts up a build and our team of testers run it through its paces and see if any applications that worked in the past got broken. If that happens, effort is made to fix the regression.
