 ===== What is a beta version? =====
-For each major release of DQMH, we usually publish pre-release (or "beta") versions of the toolkit. These versions have been thoroughly tested - our extensive test plan is executed by multiple testers - but may still be incomplete or contain errors. In order to identify those hard-to-find issues, we make pre-release versions available to the public so the community can expose them to their projects and use cases.
