PokerStars has started asking selected players to join the alpha testing team for their newest version 7 which is to be released to the mainstream community very soon. The major upgrade will be released later in 2013 and is currently only available to a select number of players.
These players have received invitational emails from the online poker giant asking them to take part in the testing process. Players are to download a separate software package and will have to test and report on any bugs plus give feedback to the support team about the performance and functionality of the new client.
The invitation email lists a number of changes “affecting how you choose your game, rather than in the server or on the tables. You shouldn’t notice any difference in the games or tournaments themselves (although we have made a few improvements to the table user interface).”
