[Commotion-dev] Problem with new DR1.1 build

[Seamus Tuohy]

It seems that this is a good point to talk about release testing. So far
we only have the test suites we built to explore each releases features.
It might be a good idea to write a series of tester scripts (actual
scripts for a tester to follow), and a set of programmed scripts to test
the functionality of old features when we incorporate new builds and
features.
