Alpha, Beta, Gamma...
At ProPokerTools, we are constantly coming up with new, interesting, and yes,
sometimes useful tools for the poker player. We enjoy releasing new tools
on a regular basis, even when they are not fully "baked" yet - that way, we can get lots of useful feedback from users like you on what is working and what is
not.
Here is the labelling scheme we use to keep track of what state each tool is in:
- Experimental areas are usually either new or incomplete - they may have lots of bugs and may be undergoing massive changes.
- Alpha areas have been around a little longer, don't have too many bugs, and may be undergoing some changes.
- Beta areas have no major bugs, and are not undergoing significant changes
- Release areas are ready for prime time. These are numbered (ie, 1.0, 1.01, 1.02, etc.)
