Alpha and Beta Versions

There are features in Joinpoint which are labeled either "Alpha Version" or "Beta Version". These are features that are in various states of development.

Alpha Version

Features that are labeled "Alpha" are new features. Being marked as alpha indicates that this feature is still being heavily tested and that it may be modified or removed in the future. While the testing to date has deemed them to be accurate, we strongly recommend that you use these features carefully and only for experimentation, and not for publication. Please bring any possible anomalies to our attention.

There are no current “Alpha” features.

Beta Version

Features that are labeled "Beta" are features that have passed through the Alpha stage already. The method logic and implementation have been tested extensively and to date have been deemed to be accurate. While we have tested extensively, we hope through further use in a wide variety of settings our large user base can alert us to any further issues, along with comments about their utility. You are welcome to use these features, but please indicate in any publication the use of a beta feature.

There are no current "Beta" features.
