* Beta definition:
Beta firmware/software is undergoing testing and has not yet been officially released. The beta phase follows the alpha phase, but precedes the final version. Some beta software is only made available to a select number of users, while other beta programs are released to the general public. We have decided in past to open Beta for all interested Beta Users and public. Please read the warning at beginning, it is important.
Software developers release beta versions of software in order to garner useful feedback before releasing the final version of a program. They often provide web forums that allow beta testers to post their feedback and discuss their experience using software.
In most cases, a software developer will release multiple "beta" versions of a program during the beta phase. Each version includes updates and bug fixes that have been made in response to user feedback. The beta phase may last anywhere from a few weeks for a small program to several months for a large program.
Each beta version is typically labelled with the final version number followed by a beta version identifier (last nb.). For example, the fifth beta release of the second version of a software program may have the version number "1.2.5." and first one "1.2.0", depends at end always from developers how to call each Beta.
Factory reset during beta test phase is normal and should be done for clean install and full database update. In some cases it is not necessary and in others have to be done explicit.
Since beta software is a pre-release version of the final application, it may be unstable or lack features that will be be included in the final release. Therefore, beta software often comes with a disclaimer that testers should use the software at their own risk. If you choose to beta test a program, be aware that it may not function as expected.
