Q.
What is the current version/status of HylaFAX?

A.
HylaFAX is distributed in two versions: a released version with patch levels to fix small bugs or problems and a beta version. The current released version is v4.0pl1; actually there is no beta version.

Released versions represent software that has been carefully tested on all supported platforms and is believed to compile, install, and function correctly (except where noted in the distribution documentation). Released versions take a long time to create. The last few released versions have been at least 6 months apart.

Beta versions are test versions of the software that are distributed more frequently than released versions. These versions include new facilities and/or support for new systems. They are typically tested on one or two systems, but not as thoroughly as released versions and not on all supported systems.

The current released and beta versions are always displayed on the HylaFAX home page.

Note: Some of the hyperlinks (e.g. for the man pages) can only work, if the HylaFAX software and the full documentation are installed on your system.
