BETA RELEASE FAQ

Before software is formally released, it goes through several stages of testing. Testing is generally broken down into Alpha, usually being done in-house by a small group, and Beta testing, done by outside parties to represent a wider range of systems and configurations. A Beta version is often very close to what will ultimately be the full release version of the software.

WHY IS THIS SOFTWARE BEING RELEASED AS A BETA VERSION? WHEN WILL VERSION 1.0 BE RELEASED?

The software is no longer in production and may not ever have a final release version. Production ended at or near the Beta testing phase. When it was determined that the project would not progress any further, a decision was made to release the Beta version rather than abandon the entire project.

SINCE THIS IS NOT FULLY TESTED SOFTWARE, WILL IT MESS UP MY MACHINE?

Although this is a Beta pre-release, it has been through Alpha testing and has proven stable. Most problems you would experience would be cosmetic only. Please read the disclaimer before using any software or content from this site. Any software offered on this site is released as-is and without warranty. Use at your own risk.

COULD I BETA TEST FOR YOU IN THE FUTURE?

Since there is no software currently in production, there is no point in looking for testers. If you have specific bugs to report that are not listed as known issues in the text files that accompany the software, please contact us. Reports will be kept for reference in case the software in question becomes an active project in the future.
