Aurora Eurotech

To help support third party developers we make available Beta/Release Candidate software.
We also make this software available to all our users for them to try the latest features.
We would encourage both our users and developers to give us feedback to help improve our products.

Beta
The Beta refers to a development version of our software.
The software is intended to test / demonstrate new features and may also contain incomplete features.
Beta versions also allow us to experiment with new features that may or may not go into released software.
Beta software can also have issues that may make it unsuitable for some users.
Note: Normally Beta software is installed separately to the normal (Released) software and the Installer / Installed directory / Application name will contain the word BETA to avoid confusion.

Release Candidate
The release candidate (RC) refers to a version with potential to be released to all our customers, unless significant issues emerge.

Released Software
The released Software is generally available to users on our Download Centre and is not available on this page.

Users who are not involved in software development may find the Wikipedia page about Software release life cycle interesting.

Beta / Release Candidate software, please note:-
* Software WILL be updated without notice.
* The software is not guaranteed to work.
* May be time limited.
* ALWAYS keep an up to date backup.
