Jon,

That is something you have to decide.  You can judge the changes from 
the release notes for the Beta relaease and decide if it is important to 
you.

There can be residual bugs in any Beta software - it has been tested by 
the K3 Firmware Test Team, and you can be assured that the most things 
do work fine, but that team just cannot test every nook and cranny, so 
there is always that lurking 'special combination' of events that might 
lead to a bug (and users are asked to report).

If you choose not to load the Beta release, do not let your K3 lag too 
far behind the normal release of firmware.

73,
Don W3FPR
