MCache is on beta 6, but what is a beta? While a lot of projects have differing views on what constitutes a beta, our view of a beta is that it is "fully functional" and should be usable, but may have a few small issues. In fact, it doesn't get put up as a beta unless it is "in use" at Mohawk Software.

This web site, for instance, always uses the latest beta of MCache. So, simply by using this site, you are providing useful QA data.
