If you don't care for the frequency of the cycles (once again, I don't follow your rationale here), then you can just use the release version. > For example, one month for everyone to really catch their breath, plan > the next beta series and let people know the purpose and objectives. Generally, this has been the case. Whenever 9Val releases the first beta in a series, he indicates what the beta series is aiming for. I suspect the planning for the next beta series is coincidental with the development of the current beta series. They don't need to be mutually exclusive things. -- Kevin ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.00.15 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/
