7.1 question
Could someone tell what the differences are between the 7.1beta4 and "snapshot" tarballs? To try out 7.1, which of the two should I get from the ftp site?
Thanks!
Tim
Thanks for the clarification :-)

source repository at the time. Once in a while a snapshot is effectively
relabeled "betaX" and announced. Aside from this non-difference, the beta
is at least looked at by a few humans to make sure that all the files are
there, whereas the snapshot is done fully automatically and might be
horribly broken (in theory, of course ;-) ).If you are new to "trying out", getting the latest official beta might
make you feel slightly better, but the quality of the snapshots has been
equally high lately.--
