Dom: An alpha release in software is more tentative, more developmental than a beta release.
>From the greek letters alpha, beta, gamma, delta. Corresponding roughly to A, B, C/G, D. I guess you'd have to say that the "real" release was the gamma. Delta's are usually small incremental updates to a released base, so like 6.3.1 was to 6.3. This use of the letter delta probably comes from calculus, where delta is the difference from the previous result, used for improving the accuracy of the next result in an iterative solution. -- Michaelwagner ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Michaelwagner's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=428 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25771 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
