Wait for prerelease to test?

Hello everybody :)
(skip to the last paragraph if you want the short version)
After being frustrated with Finale and not having a convenient Sibelius for my current computer, a friend of mine gave me MuseScore. So I started to use it, as it was an easy transition. Recently, my parents and I wrote a musical, and I notated all of the music using MuseScore. In doing so, I made a list of possible bugs and improvements, but in general, if I couldn't do something one way, I could usually find a way around it, which was great. And I think it's awesome that it's free.

And I am totally up for helping to improve it. I may get into some of the code myself, but for now I think I'll go with some bug reports and feature requests.
I was actually writing a bug report about a crash I found, that I didn't see reported yet, but then when I downloaded the nightly build, I found that the program works in a way that avoids the step creating the crash completely. So much for that.

So, while I could go looking into my list of other bugs and improvements and such, I think I might just wait for the next stable or pre-release, as obviously a lot of things are in the process of changing. But I was wondering if there's any kind of estimate for when that's happening? Seems like maybe soon, as it's been about 2 months. Should I just go ahead testing my list on the nightly builds?

Thanks for the great program!
