Eh... New world, new culture, new jargon, uh ?
Anyway, stable sounds SO MUCH BETTER, doesn't it ? "What server are you running ?", "Oh, I am running the latest BETA." while "What server are you running ?", "Oh, I am running the latest STABLE." Ok. That's marketing. But - IRL - confuses us a little bit. At 08:01 AM 11/22/2002, you wrote:
In HLDS parlance, beta == the version you're expected to run if you want it to work properly. I'm not sure why they don't just eventually upgrade its status to 'stable', but usually the actual latest 'stable' version that you _need_ to run is still termed a beta. -- trog
