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?
