Where is the beta and why isn't it the main version?

The man dev quit the project and others are picking up the pieces. They might not have access to the Play Store account, or maybe they do. Either way, the new team has not produced a new final version yet. Just a string of alphas and betas. As of now the beta is the main version. It's good enough for daily use.

This literally doesn't answer the question at all. It's just a snarky remark from someone who seems to think everyone else should be as privy to how all this works as they are.

The beta was the first release in a few years.

The released the nightly build a few hour ago: https://github.com/LawnchairLauncher/lawnchair/releases/tag/nightly

I guess we can expect the final version in the coming days/weeks

Who knows where thoughts come from? They just appear... Yeah.
