Re: Most current non-beta version, and bcc

:-( Nope, thanks. I had tried that before posting to the list but unfortunately it doesn't work - at least when using v.v.4.1.2, so again I'll ask - Are the 4.2.3 downloads at the top of the page at: http://www.php.net/downloads/ "beta versions" or non-"beta" versions?
