1.  The "Beta" status has been a struggle for me for a long while.  The core 
toolset (candle, light, lit) is very stable.  Production quality easily.  The 
CustomActions on the other had are not quite there.  Since they are currently 
grouped together (something I've considered many times changing) the status is 
best left Beta.  That said, I am close to finishing off all WiX v2 bugs:

  I have four left (one of the five fixed locally, I think).<unk<unk2.  WiX v2 
will be the stable version until WiX v3 reaches a "Production quality" release. 
 That WiX v3 Production quality release is realistically more than a year.  
However, if you're willing to deal with "just-less-than-Production-quality", I 
think WiX v3 will probably be safe in 6 - 9 months.  Right now, there is a lot 
of churn, and the bugs being fixed in WiX v2 are not in WiX v3 yet... so I 
would not suggest shipping a product built w
 ith WiX v3 in the next 3 months.<unk<unk-----Original Message-----<unkFrom:

Production/Stable instead of Beta?<unk<unkWiX is currently shown with a 
Development Status of 'Beta' on the WiX Project Summary page. That sends the 
wrong message to existing and potential users of WiX. Surely WiX (V2) can now 
be regarded as 'Production/Stable' can't it?<unk<unkI am also interested in the 
planned timetable for WiX V3 taking over as the stable version. Is it close to 
achieving that or is it many months or even years 
away?<unk<unkRegards<unk<unkMike<unk<unk<unk-------------------------------------------------------------------------<unkTake
