I'm not sure a beta always mean a stable API, but you can add in the release notes of a beta that the API is frozen. Look at the eclipse project, they only produce milestones, and starting at one of them in the release plan they say the API is frozen.
So if your next distribution is API stable, I would indicate it in the release notes and stick with the beta 2 name. Xavier On 5/22/07, Johan Compagner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
