The way I understand it is that if more important bugs are found in a beta, then another beta is issued. After a suitable period has passed without substancial bugs reported, the final beta becomes the release version. This is so that *any* fixes are checked in beta first, not just released on assumption that nothing was broke.
This is at least how it SHOULD be handled ;-) And of course it makes sense to not introduce new features in the beta phase, because those might cause new bugs. Joachim
