    Just curious. It's been in beta for YEARS.

    Unfortunately, it is labeled "beta". Maybe it should be relabeled "living standard" as is the case
    with HTML 5?

    ooRexx 5.0 has been of release quality for quite some time now, IMHO. Also it fixes quite a few bugs
    present in ooRexx 4.2 and adds a lot of new, very useful functionality and speed to the table.

    4.2 Won't install in Ubuntu 20.04LTS or later. 22.04LTS is coming out
    in a few months. I've been running OORexx 5.0 beta ever since I
    installed 20.04LTS two years ago. Never even bothered with the
    nightlies, just grabbed what was current then and haven't had any
    issues. Just wondering why after all this time it is still in beta?
