I noticed various releases with the "beta" designation - do these ever go into a general release (ie - stable) mode. What is the general timeframe for this to happen?

The next release will be the last one from 4.2.x series with new features. The later releases will be fixing bugs until I consider 4.2.x series stable enough to release non-beta version.

This is a google-way but originally not the right way to go.

Though the software is quite evolved and much less buggy than real Betaware (like e.g. WinSCP :) - oh yes!) they name it beta, so nobody can complain about bugs.

I prefere this new way. Because i don't like to be the betatester all the time ;-)
