NetBeans 8.1 is available now. And by this, the NetBeans Community Acceptance Testing program ended. NetCAT is a great opportunity to everybody who is interested in improving this great IDE.

Participate the the next NetCAT game too! Your activities will be valuable and you’ll get feedback. Following is the feedback I just received about some of my activities.

And thanks to the NetBeans team, who did a great job!
