pre beta?
is't that an alfa?
No, it will be public beta (you know how much its playable since years). It will never be "alpha", I dont think it will ever be "ready" unless Darkhound gets one day bored with all of it (hope it never happens). There will be always new and new ideas , even in this forum you could read about some of them time to time :)

While I agree whit what you said, until is 1.0 it is in BETA. but you could have sub versions 0.3.5.0 alpha for small circle of people the beta for bigger circle and release candidate. Pre-beta seems unnecessary invented phase.
Is prebeta commonly used in programing?

Exciting news! Does this part mean Ivy's images are partially updated in this update, or that all the new Ivy images will be moved to the next update?

Inquiring minds want to know I guess, but with all the new content and additional changes to the game, that's what concerns you?!?!
