Yes, it was running the PR release. PR stands for Product Release.

This is how you do software right :-)
The real beta test is the final release, when it goes live to thousands of customers. That is why some people prefer to not buy a new product right away.

Heck, I just received a Linux patch for ext4 data corruption... [...]
We knew about that automated test suite btw. At least, I saw some of its statistics before.
