- Rename "Testing and reporting issues" to "Providing feedback" - Add "issue reporting" article, with TBD guidelines - Move "issue triage" to "other" since it's not relevant for most people.

Testing and reporting issues
|
||
============================
|
||
|
||
Godot uses `GitHub's issue tracker <https://github.com/godotengine/godot/issues>`_
|
||
for bug reports. When you start filing a bug report, you’ll be given a form to
|
||
fill out. Please try to follow it so that all issues are consistent and provide
|
||
the required information.

Testing development versions
|
||
----------------------------
|
||
|
||
A great way of contributing to the engine is to test development releases
|
||
or the development branch and to report issues found therein.
|
||
|
||
To help with the testing, you have several possibilities:
|
||
|
||
- **Compile the engine from source yourself**, following the instructions of the
|
||
`Compiling <https://docs.godotengine.org/en/latest/engine_details/development/compiling/index.html>`__ page for your platform.
|
||
|
||
- **Test official pre-release binaries** when they are announced (usually on the
|
||
blog and other community platforms), such as alpha, beta and release candidate (RC) builds.
|
||
|
||
- **Test "trusted" unofficial builds of the development branch**; just ask
|
||
community members for reliable providers. Whenever possible, it's best to
|
||
use official binaries or to compile yourself though, to be sure about the
|
||
provenance of your binaries.
|
||
|
||
As mentioned previously, it is also helpful to keep your eyes peeled for
|
||
potential bugs that might still be present in the stable releases, especially
|
||
when using some niche features of the engine which might get less testing by
|
||
the developers.
