(although 5.5 should have been labeled "release candidate" or "silver master"). Alpha releases execute and function, but are expected to crash/explode/whatever. They are possibly feature complete, but the jury would still be out. Betas should generally function and be usable, but are still looking for bugs. The big ones are supposedly gone. Features are set for release (barring something catastrophic), andwon't be added or subtracted. An RC believes that all bugs are taken care of, and is only making sure of this. Features are locked, and the release number will actually change if features are changed. -- Dr. Richard E. Hawkins, Esq.
