So broadly speaking, a beta will be a true beta whereas in the past with new major versions, it's more alpha-like in that we might add some more functionality, or refactor bits of code on whim which means you get a really lengthy beta testing phase.

With v5, we're being more careful to ensure the quality of the product, and even now it's incredibly stable and very polished and much more beta-like than alpha. That said, we are aware that we may need to revisit some features and tweak them, or potentially re-work bits of code so we're not quite ready for beta status.

We're really hoping for a public beta by September. We're aware that we're running out of year and before long Thanksgiving arrives and signals the start of the holiday season.

We haven't made any firm decisions about release schedules in terms of which Invision Community packages get beta first. My instinct right now is to release both the classic version and the Invision Community but we'll confirm closer to the time. We may stagger the final release, but that would be just to prevent support becoming overwhelmed with upgrades.

总的来说，beta版本将是真正的beta版本，而过去在发布新版本时，它更像是alpha版本，我们可能会添加一些新的功能，或者随意重构部分代码，这意味着beta测试阶段会非常漫长。

在v5中，我们更加注重确保产品的质量，即使现在它也非常稳定、精致，比alpha版本更像是beta版本。不过，我们也清楚地认识到，可能需要重新审视某些功能并进行微调，或者可能需要重新编写部分代码，因此我们还不完全具备beta版本的条件。

我们真的希望能在9月推出公开测试版。我们知道时间不多了，很快感恩节就要到了，这标志着假期季节的开始。

我们尚未就哪个Invision Community包首先进行beta测试做出任何确定的决定。目前我的直觉是同时发布经典版本和Invision Community版本，但我们将在更接近发布时间时确认。
