I know I'm new here, but:
Shouldn't the new Minetest 5.0.0 release actually be called "Minetest 0.5"? If you actually made the first stable (neither alpha or beta) version of Minetest, it should be called "Minetest 1.0" not "Minetest 5.0".
EDIT: It should be called "Minetest 0.5" because the previous version of Minetest has "Minetest 0.4.17.1" in the title bar, and it doesn't make sense to skip all the way to Minetest 5.0...
This is the way it should be (but imagine it saying "Minetest 0.5" instead of "Minetest 0.4.17.1"):
This is NOT the way it should be:
Your new beta tester,
