¶ Release Option Selection:
1. Alpha (Preview): This release should only be used at the advice of a Batrium Technician. It is usually installed during a Zoom session as part of troubleshooting a problem.
2. Beta (Latest): This is a beta release that has had at least 2 weeks in Alpha prior to moving to Beta.
3. Live (Stable): This is the current Live release.
