Actually it does say "7.0 - This is the latest alpha pre-release (yes,
we really mean it) development version of SlimServer. ", which is what
it used to say for 6.5b.
But it also say's that it's 6.5b thats "headed torwards official
release soon."
Confused!
I have noticed that SS 7.0 is now available. Could you just clarify what
the situation is for me. I see there is no 6.5b to download now, am i
right in assuming that basically 7.0b is just 6.5b renamed? Although
there is still a 6.5b link. Or is there more going on?
