Beta lags stable

[jontext88]

It perplexes me as to why the BETA version seems to so often lag behind the latest stable version.
The stable version has had 7 updates during which time the BETA has had none.
Specifically it annoys me when the Beta is not running the latest Handbrake core while the stable has had it for some time.
Should we be running the BETA anymore. Is it a forgotten relic. just want to know.

Yeah, this is my bad. When VidCoder was under more active feature development, after a stable release I would quickly spin up a new Beta train using unstable HandBrake snapshots.

HandBrake has recently increased its stable release cadence, so VidCoder stable has also been getting more releases to catch up.

I am planning on starting v13 Beta soon though.

Someday I may try to automatically create Beta builds from the HandBrake snapshots.

Apologies if you are already aware. I did the 12.9 to 13. Upgrade but 13 is very unstable. Crashes and there are missing bits in the filter options list. I am using 12.19 Stable in the meantime. Got it to pickup a "VidCoder.sqlite" backup file from my beta version so minimal inconvenience.
