Haiku R1 Final Alpha.1 :-)
It doesn't make sense to label a release beta just because people want that to
happen. If that would be our aim, we would call it R1, and be done with it.
"beta" has a specific meaning in software development, and I don't see any
reason why we would change that. Sure, a beta would be nice and all, but it's
not the word "beta" that makes the difference, but being feature complete.
Just to repeat Ingo, I'd say we should determine *exactly* what we want to be in
the release that isn't there yet.
IMAP is not a good point, as we do have IMAP support -- it's just buggy (so
"beta" ready) :-)
Another question is if we still want to allow API changes after the beta
release. I think there is a lot things we should discuss first, before even
being able to decide the "name" of the release.
Bye,
Axel.
