Actually, Beta versions TECHNICALLY fix any bugs that are in the 'Stable' release. Usually Beta versions introduce new 'features' as well. However in this instance, they do not (at least, that I'm aware of) Valve's Server-Betas, generally are bug-fixes from the last full release, since introducing any more features, would require a client update as well. I'd stick with running whatever the latest 'beta' is. > > 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.
