Test Releases

As with most open source projects, PortableApps.com makes available test versions of our software for people to test before we post a 'final' or 'stable' version of an application.

Sorting Note: All the tables on this page are sortable by any column so you can easily find what you're looking for. Just click on the header of the column you wish to sort by.

Pre-Releases

Releases labeled 'Pre-Release' are either late beta or release candidate quality builds of applications posted for final testing before release. These are applications that are already in the application list or will be once they've been fully tested by the community.

Development Test Releases

Releases labeled 'Development Test' and bearing the black and white PortableApps.com Dev Test Release splash screen are alpha or beta quality builds of applications meant for developers to test new features and new applications or for newer developers who have not yet released software on PortableApps.com. As some may be from inexperienced developers or packagers, they should be scanned for viruses before installation and tested in a secure environment. These releases are for testers only and are not intended for everyday use.

Outdated Beta Tests

The applications listed in this table are of unknown quality and status.  They are not up to the latest PortableApps.com specifications, do not contain the Dev Test Release splash screen, and Dev on these portable apps seems to have halted.  These releases are for developers only, and should be updated or marked obsolete.

Apps To Be Added

Developers with apps that need to be added or updated should post a comment here. Comments will be deleted once the app is added/updated. This is not a place to request apps. Those requests belong in the request apps forum.

This is the format all posts should be made in: (this is only an example, you must replace all links and text with the proper values)

  <tr>
    <td><a href="http://taskcoach.org/">Task Coach</a></td>
    <td>to-do list / task manager</td>
    <td><a href="http://portableapps.com/user/24376">Patrick Patience</a></td>
    <td><a href="http://portableapps.com/node/11939">0.69.1 Dev Test 2</a></td>
    <td>2008-03-07</td>
  </tr>
This is the template that will yield the desired format.
<pre>
  &lt;tr&gt;
    &lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="http://taskcoach.org/"&gt;Task Coach&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;

inkscape

small correction here Smiling

inkscape is listed as an image viewer
it's actually a vector graphics editor (which is much more useful than a viewer)

great work keeping this up to date

thanks for the fix, and

thanks for the fix, and thanks for the support.

Bad links

Some apps have bad links on their name. Like if you click on the Cafe mod's name, it brings you to http://portableapps.com/development/

some of the apps don't have

some of the apps don't have official links. how should i handle these? should i make them just link to this page, or link to their forum thread, or not put a link on them at all?

The developer formerly known as ZGitRDun8705

I'd use

the forum thread...

"I was just out walking my rat and I seem to have lost my way" - James Bond in Diamonds are forever

It's not consistant.

Some link here, some have no links, and some link to the forums. I think it should at least be consistant. Also, why do they do pre-releases for app upgrades like GNU cash, Infarecorder, and Keepass?

I know it's not consistent.

I know it's not consistent. i asked what to use. and for apps that have undergone bugfixes or big changes, a pre-release is done first, or if it's not one of the apps that John is the developer of, the author has to wait for John's digital signature.
