4.0b2 is fairly stable. We have major trouble on Solaris, but on other

3.0nb2 is a notation from the NetBSD package system (pkgsrc). It's for

Some option have been deprecated, but backward compatibility is supposed
to have been maintained: you should be able to drop your config file
from a 1.0 installation on 4.0b2 and it should just work.
