Question

Is It Worth Using Beta Features That May Not Make the Final Release?

It is said beta version is a trial version. Therefore there is no guarantee new features in the beta version will be transformed into subsequent regular version. In this context, is it worth to spend time on new features in beta version?

    @MahaB82A 

    The purpose of the Beta version is to test out new features and to report bugs in them to the developers so the features are stable before going to the released version. Some features don’t make it through the process, but most do.

     

    You can install both versions if you want to be a beta tester.

    I am a amateur therefore I don’t think beta version is useful to me.

    Good decision ​@MahaB82A!

     

    If you ever decide to install the Beta, you can have both the beta and released versions both installed.

    It depends on which type of beginner you are, but in my opinion it isn’t worth.

    You should first familiarize yourself with the features of the regular version.
