I think a version number of 0.3 conveys "alpha".

  Thanks! I honestly didn't know that, and thought pre1.0 software can be either beta or alpha, arbitrarily. Is there some decimal cutoff between alpha and beta?

    > Is there some decimal cutoff between alpha and beta? No, because they are human labels, not computer generated titles for specific versions. Both are below 1.0 (so, not "production ready",constantly in flux, anything can change, here be dragons etc etc) and that's all that matters. If it's alpha/beta is the same, the project is probably not ready for you to ship to production for real users, right at this moment. That's what those labels are trying to convey. Note: I'm not talking about V specifically here, but the labels themselves and software versioning in general
