"Alpha" refers to the testing stage of the program. When the program reaches a
certain point in development (usually when almost all of the features and
content are completed and ready for testing), it is designated as in the "Alpha"
stage. "Beta" is when the program is considered to be "finished" and fully ready
for testing. The program will not reach the "Beta" stage for about 2-3 months
from now.
