princessnorah@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 month agoIf you go to the Meshtastic website, the Beta of the software is listed as Stable, with the Alpha branch considered the testing version: meshtastic.org/downloads/
Lemmy itself is still in Beta, with stable version releases.

Yes, but it is a bit unusual for a “beta” to be the stable version, when there is a such a thing as “stable”. Beta is normally taken to be a testing version, between alpha and stable releases. But it shows we can’t just go on our own assumptions about what alpha and beta mean.

It entirely depends, but I don’t think “Stable” is necessarily synonymous with “Release” versions. You can have a “stable” version where it functions correctly and there’s no critical bugs that crash the program.
