Hopefully I've made it a bit clearer, a1 - a3 are older alphas, but
are still up as some are more stable than others.

does it not complicate things? (Its only a question, not a comment.....i am not a programmer) I mean, i would try a1, and then move to a2 to find that some of the things i did with a1 may be less stable now....and so on. And with so many different releases by so many different people.....is it not more difficult to move ahead? ....someone may work on some bugs on B56a3 and other on B55 or B5X or on B54 and ultimately all these efforts do not help to build just one single release which is better than all. Its like linux-----so many different distributions and all with their own advantages and disadvantages and their own bugs and issues.......i guess thats not what open source is for. That is why, i sometimes wish that the new QS to be released by Alcor better not be open source. ..........so that whatever little time he has to give to QS ....helps keep QS moving forward and not back and forth........i mean, there are those who use QS all their life and dont even want to try these new releases because of some issue or other in each different release which takes their comfort away. (I repeat, i am not a programmer.....so may be, i am completely wrong......i am only presenting my views as an "user" of QS.......plz dont take it as criticism.....i know you are all working for QS and not for any monetary gains)

Of the current
release, there's an intel and a universal build.

i know QS is open-source but someone plz tell me, how many different
QS do we have?
(i dont mean different versions released from time to time. i mean,
different version all coming at the same time)
there's a B54(3815) (which is called B53 on the website)
then B55a4
now here i see
some B56(a1 to a4) herehttp://code.google.com/p/blacktree-alchemy/downloads/list

and what is an alpha release?

and how many developers (like Ankur who has B5X) developing more QS ?

On the Google Code site there are two files, the v3823 and the
universal version. Why does the universal version have a lower number
3818 ? Do they have the exact same changes? Or they different?

Thanks!
