In an atmosphere of almost overwhelming joy and delight,
the Interchange development group excitedly announced the
release of Interchange 5.5.1 (beta).
You can help improve the upcoming stable version by downloading
this beta release,
installing it,
testing it and reporting your experience
to the interchange-users mail list.
Interchange development snapshots and beta releases have a long
history of stability,
so we actively encourage experienced developers go ahead
and use this release for new deployments and upgrades.
This RTFM website is continually upgraded to run the latest
development version,
available from CVS and as a daily development snapshot 
.
Please read the UPGRADE file,
included in the tar archive,
for information about the upgrade procedure,
and the small number of backward-incompatible changes introduced
with this beta release.
Also see the
WHATSNEW
file to, err, find out what's new.
As usual,
Interchange can be downloaded from either of the following locations:
