How to report bugs

Before filling a bug, please look if someone else already has reported this issue.

To report a bug, please give a description, what is going wrong and how it can be reproduced. what steps are required to reproduce it?

Nearly always attach infolog.txt, as it contains system/driver/version info and if spring crashed, it also (should) contain an crashdump, which allows to find out, why it crashed and to fix it. If it makes sense, make a screenshot + attach it.

The better the bug-report, the better the chances, that it is fixed!
