As I understand it, the particular cycle a release is in depends on how long

nobody reports a major bug after N days, and a beta becomes a production
release if goes N days without a major bug report. Thus, even if 4.1.3 is
released as alpha, it could retroactively be declared beta, and then even
No, once a given version is released, it doesn't get changed retroactively.
Either a 4.1.3a release would be done, or a 4.1.4 release would be done.
release -- although that's pretty unlikely. The long and short of it
though, is that nobody can tell you how long until 4.1 will go beta.
Well, 4.1.3 has been announced today as a -beta release, so we all know
the answer to this now. :-)

It is a little frustrating,
at Linux Conf Adelaide 2004 (January), the Mysql guy there
said that 4.1
would be in beta, in the next few weeks ...
Its now July and its still in Alpha.
It says on the webpage "MySQL 4.1 -- Alpha release (use this for new
development)" - and it has said that for 6months+
So we did our development on 4.1, and were expecting it to be beta by
February 2004.
We're ready to roll it out as soon as it hits beta, i told my boss it
would be in beta by March 2004 at the latest. We now have hardware
sitting for around with 4.1 alpha on it that cannot be deployed.
Does anyone actually have a concrete date when 4.1 will go into beta?
Cheers
