Plugin Beta Tester

This plugin aids with beta testing WordPress plugins hosted on wordpress.org. Once Plugin Beta Tester is activated, WordPress will notify you of new beta versions of plugins, not just new stable versions, and you'll be able to upgrade to these beta versions with just one click within WordPress. Make sure to make frequent backups while you beta test plugins, and make sure to report bugs. Thanks for helping test plugins!

0.5

• Updated for WordPress 3.7, which changed the way plugin update checks happen.

0.4

• Some plugins would not get checked properly, due to core bug #15058. Now MD5-ing plugin slugs so they have safe transient names to get around this bug.
• Make the version_compare function a bit more robust
• Made more strings localizable

0.3

• Using new wordpress.org API for version checks, to be much more performant. Props nacin, sc0ttkclark.
• Added transient, so beta checks only occur once a day. Can be changed using the constant PLUGIN_BETA_TESTER_EXPIRATION.
• Added filter pbt_versions so other plugins can hook into responses. pbt_versions filters an object with the latest and stable version strings for a particular plugin.

0.2

• No longer looks for updates on every admin page load
• Assume directory name is plugin slug
• Code cleanup: now object-oriented

0.1

• Initial upload
