The Evergreen development team has put together another 2.0 alpha release in the relentless march towards stability. The release, cleverly named alpha 4, incorporates a much smaller number of bug fixes and performance improvements than alpha 3, suggesting that we are indeed getting close to the level of stability needed for a good beta release. Please download the beta (source tarball or virtual image), join the testing effort, and report your findings to the Evergreen development mailing list; the earlier we find bugs, the better the 2.0 release will be!
