I was looking at the test release list and saw that it has grown to a size beyond what I think it was expected to. This isn't necessarily a negative however it is the amount of unrequired entries in the list that I found frustrating. It appears there are a number of items that are outdated but are still in the current test release list. I understand many simply need to be moved to the outdated list but there are a number of others which really should be removed outright. An example is SWORD Project which has been superseded by BPBible. Another example is the older development version of SMPlayer. Keeping this has no value as prapper has begun development of the app in a new thread. There are many others but for now the list below show those that have not been updated in over 12 months. I figured this was a good starting point. I hope no developers of these apps are offended.

I'm not offended
Although 2 of my Apps are on your list. MP3val just got updated yesterday (although I don't know how many people actually use the proggy) and JpegView is at the latest version so I say keep them there. Other things like CDex are still the latest release too, but things like HeidiSQL are 3.2 but the current release is 4.0 so they could be moved into "Outdated" I think.
Maybe we could make a list of the actually outdated ones and move them the the outdated section...(If no one objects)

I'll remove MP3val from the list. However with others do you think it may be worth updating the installers? Also say CDex, do you think you will continue developing this when BonkEnc performs the same function, is more up to date and has already become official? I noticed the error with the JpegView listing and have noted it here.

develop CDex. I just picked it as an example of an App which is old but still up to date.
What "others" do you mean? I can just speak for my Apps and I just update them when a new version is released. I see no point in just updating them so they have the latest installer.
Where exactly is "here"?

Sorry if my English is bad. I don't have the excuse of not being a native speaker just I've decided to go on a caffeine detox and its taking its toll. At least thats my excuse anyway

Your english is ok, it was just a little unclear
I meant the potable version of CDex. I didnt do it, someone called jeffm did it. If it was me, Id drop it.
And I fixed the JPegView entry. If I find the time, I may rerelease my Apps with updated installers...

I somehow had your name as being the dev. I guess it stays on the list then
Heres one more vote for it to be dropped as it has been superseded.
