An alpha version is an in-house testing version. You won't have access to it, only paid employees do. The moment it is released to voluntary outside real-time users (like on this list), it automatically becomes a beta version. By definition. There is no such thing as an "alpha beta" apart from Ritlabs' terminology, but I have even heard of gammas once. Let's confuse the testers all the way to omegas, I'd say. We might have to recite the whole Greek alphabet in one line, though. SPV>> May RIT just isn't telling their server about the updates SPV>> they've been releasing? BA> Last I heard that had turned it off. That's bad news. I wish betas (which may be mistakenly be called alphas) and release versions would be available for easy download in this useful feature. -- Cheers, Thomas.
