Important: please add tags to these little mile stones. Simply
git tag j805-beta-4
when you are going to do the beta build, or right after you've done it.
There are options for adding commentary or digitally signing
a release but you can ignore all that. Make a simple tag and
be done.
Pick any naming scheme you want but then try to be consistent.
Don't use special or space characters in tags.

I already find decent markers there. (Having both an "804 initial
release" and an "804 release" is confusing but not deadly.)
Please apply corresponding tags to respective commits in the tree,
using commit ids to refer to the old versions you used:
git tag j805-beta-3 4975251

No need to. With tags, things get much simpler:
# What happend since beta3?
git log j805-beta-3..
# What happened between beta3 and 4?
git diff j805-beta-3..j805-beta-4
And when we get a bug report ("I'm using 805 beta-3, and 6 is 9!"),
we could
git checkout j805-beta-3
and start debugging, without figuring out "4975251". Tags are vital.

I suggest to announce any binary beta kits to your "beta" forum.
That's what subscribers there are just waiting for. (I hasn't seen
any traffic since Jan 1.)
Over here in this source forum, you can expect us developers to compile
our own binaries, related to announced beta releases, too, and help
hunting down bugs.
But in order to sync to one of your betas, we need one thing:
A tag.
