MM Alpha testing is not necessarily done in-house. Some companies MM release alpha versions to the public. Anyway, each company adopts MM its own software release life cycle habits. We do not follow the MM strict steps from pre-alpha to alpha to beta to gamma to RC to RTM MM to GA. We call software alpha or beta or release depending MM on our estimates of probability of complications that the software MM can cause. We may be wrong in our estimates. Thank you for outlining your company philosophy. I'll try to deal with it and be selective with the versions I download. -- Cheers, Thomas. http://thomas.fernandez.hat-gar-keine-homepage.de/ Message reply created with The Bat! 4.2.23 under Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 3 Current beta is 4.2.24.5 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

MM What's new in 4.2.24.4 since 4.2.24.3: MM [-] Fixed data loss during POP3 sessions (BETA issue) I thought this is an ALPHA series, as you announce above. A word of clarification would be nice. Alpha testing is done in-house right after coding something new or trying to fix a bug; it's done in-house as it may have new bugs or the fix doesn't work. If you think you have caught the new bugs and the proggy works, you release a beta version to beta testers, who will undoubtedly find more bugs, which you fix before the release. This is how I learned it. If there are other definitions of alpha and beta versions, I'd like to hear them. Kindly let us know whether you actually test the proggy when you fix some code, or do you really release it to this list as an alpha version? -- Cheers, Thomas. http://thomas.fernandez.hat-gar-keine-homepage.de/ Message reply created with The Bat! 4.2.23 under Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 3 Current beta is 4.2.24.4 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
