Generally beta means that you now only want to fix bugs and add critical missing features. If you still plan to break BC a lot you should stick with alpha or lower. However this is a recommendation and not a hard rule. I have written up a document on version naming but it hasn’t been blessed yet by the PEAR Group. I guess it would fit better to discuss it on pear-qa anyways. I will send it there in the coming days. Regards, Lukas
