  ok, since there is official anouncement and there are already posted
  some information to news servers like osnews, i think we should update
  newvers.sh so people who download BETA1 build wouldn't be confused
  with -PRERELEASE branch.

  here is simple diff:

--- newvers.sh.orig     Mon Mar 21 20:44:45 2005
