CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

On March 23rd the beta version of release 1.7 was announced on the CiviCRM blog. I understand the need for a good, solid beta period, and I applaud CiviCRM for not releasing 1.7 before all beta bugs have been addressed.

However, the download site already states: "The latest stable version of CiviCRM is 1.7.". The filename of the download at the other hand still include the word "beta", as in "civicrm-1.7.beta.9019-drupal-php5.tar.gz".

It seems to be that that this is a confusing message for the users. If 1.7 is still beta, shouldn't the download page state that the stable version (and thus recommended for download) is 1.6?

Donald, thanks.

I'll be downloading 1.7 then... looking forward use CiviCRM.
