You can also check out the SourceForge: Project Info site for Pioneers. There, you can also subscribe to our mailinglist, where the latest bugs and features are discussed.
Reporting bugs
If you want to report a bug, please read the following:
- Make sure you have at least the latest release before reporting a bug. If you are using Debian stable, report bugs to the Debian project, not to us (your bug report will be read any way).
- Check the list of open bugs on SourceForge. If the bug is already there, you may want to add a comment to it about how to reproduce it, for example. Don't submit a bug which is already in the list as a new bug.
- If you are not using the Subversion version, check the list of bugs marked
fixed. These bugs are already fixed in the repository, but perhaps not
in the latest release. Check the build number to see if the patch is already
included in the release.
Using the Subversion version will solve your problem. Please, don't submit a new bug report in that case.
