  In software the usual versioning terminology is that an "alpha" version
is one which still doesn't have all the planned features, ie. features are
still being added, while a "beta" version is a version of the software which
has all the features but still lacks complete bug testing (ie. it "should
work" but there may be still bugs left).

  I suppose the analogy with people is not all that bad.
