This would be 2.1.2-beta right? Not 2.2.0-beta1?
Correct.
Our first 'beta' release doesn't necessarily mean that it'd be 2.2.0-beta1. We can have as many 2.1.x betas as we want. However, I think it was said that the 2.2.0 branch will start with some 2.1.x beta - I just don't think we're quite at the branch point yet, but, IMHO, we should try to get some folks pounding on 2.1.x... -- justin
