General Discussion - Ready for the BETA! - Forum

GGG, or their internet provider, or some other piece of infrastructure might have been taken out by today's earthquake. So they might not have internet access at the moment. Apparently quite a large amount of stuff in NZ has lost power.	Posted by Malice#2426 on Feb 22, 2011, 4:59:50 AM Alpha Member Quote this Post

My guess is that Beta is not going to begin on March 1st, instead there is going to be a big reballancing in Alpha. I am basing this on the significant decrease in developer postings and things three or so weeks ago when the last version came out . That was Alpha version 0.7.0, so this must be like 0.8.0 (with 1.0.0 being Beta). If each build takes 3 weeks or so, 0.9.0 should be around March 15th and Beta 1.0.0 will be around the end of March or the beginning of April.

Nice guess. But let's hope that beta start sooner than that :)	Posted by Oconnel#4182 on Feb 23, 2011, 1:55:02 PM Quote this Post

We don't have any special event lined up for March 1st - we'll release our announcements as soon as they are ready. I like your analysis of the internal versions, but we'll probably keep using the 0.x.y series for beta version numbers as well. For example beta might be 0.10.0 or 0.11.0 (no promises!)
