> How come these betas aren't making it to the beta-software page?

Because Empeg now has a small team of alpha testers to bang on their smoke builds for them.  Technically, 1.01 Beta 1 and 1.01 Beta 2 were alphas. The name "beta" is misleading. I've been meaning to talk to Mike about that.

Don't worry, this is a good thing. These alpha builds aren't usually good for Joe Consumer usage, and there will still be public betas as always. The only difference is that the internal builds which were previously never released outside the company are now released to a handful of alpha testers as well. This helps the public betas to be more stable.

Understand that one thing Empeg wants to avoid is a bunch of BBS users begging to get on the alpha team. An alpha team is only useful if it's small and manageable, and therefore it's by invitation only.
