What’s the current status? Anyone knows? • Pre Alpha (only Xojo team knows what’s going on, everything is being discussed and changing, far from ok) • Closed Alpha (only Xojo team knows what’s going on, but being developed and features can be tested) • Open Alpha (selected devs have access and see what’s going on, a “real product” now exists, but can abruptly suffer changes, can be very buggy) • Closed Beta (Feature complete, internal, devs don’t have access, stabilizing to open to devs) • Beta (Feature complete, devs have access, stabilizing for public release) ---

If you could be told then you‘d already know. As you don‘t know you obviously can’t be told. Now I could tell you anyway but then I‘d have to kill you … ---

The first rule of the pre-release program is that we don’t talk about the pre-release program 🙂 Theres a post somewhere on how to join, I’ll find it when I get to my pc ---

Can’t see that label in my forum account for ages. 😃 Well, now I have no idea of how far away we are from a Windows stable release, just will check from time to time as always, and read bkeeneybriefs, no worries. 😃 ---

I almost always am running the latest beta available, and sometimes the latest alpha available. But not always… At this moment I’m running the last release version. So that should tell you that either there is no current beta, or I don’t have access to the current alpha or something has made me not want to run the current beta or any number of other completely unhelpful things that might not tell you anything but in hindsight will make it completely clear 😉 ---

That’s what I was expecting. Say much saying nothing. The current point is “somewhere” before a Beta. 😃 ---

So, maybe I should mark Markus answer “It’s TOP SECRET” as the correct answer. 😃 ---

That’s as good an answer as anything else at this point because we _can’t_ tell you and Xojo _won’t_ tell you. ---

> [@390002:@Phillip Zedalis](#): > > R2 is a priority. Well, I do prefer an Important:Beta, more than a Priority:Alpha. So that says nothing to me. 😃 Android is being Priority for how long? Two years? ---

So, maybe Xojo must stop giving information about the Xojo future. People will discover new stuff when released (excepted some beta testers). [Next page](https://forum.xojo.com/t/curiosity-2018r2-status/43717.md?page=2)
