Hi Dave,
1. Some of us (beta testers) always stay on beta-channel.
2. I may correct you, BC differs from SC and gets updated more often.
3. Totally agree with that, a differentiation would be helpful.
1. Yes, that was me until I did a clean reinstall to remain on the regular update channel. Unless you were on the Alpha Channel (usually in house testing) any updates going on to the Beta Channel would surely result in a NEW topic announcing the new beta as has been the practice in the past (no secret beta versions ?).
2. Those beta testers on the Beta Channel would be switched to the latest beta possibly earlier than the announcement in the forums. But they certainly wouldn't be using the 'OLD' beta topic if it has indeed been updated/superseded, it wouldn't (or shouldn't) have the same version number as the OLD beta.
3. The same version number has been going on for some time now, but it never used to be like this the regular release had a very small change in the last part of the version number. End of confusion.
