Historically in the past when a beta was released in the past it was pretty much the one Jon released later on. I don't know when he will call it the final release - I know in his post he said it was for new customers and people who signed up for support. I know that I used the beta version every time he released them for years in the past, but he said that he now does a lot more controlled beta testing than in the past. I remember once when there was a beta years ago he released a patch within days because of bugs.
