Actually, if you look closely at it, GNATS 3.113.1, which is considered the 
latest stable release, is actually itself a beta. I have very extensive 
experience with running a busy GNATS 3 installation, and from the 4.0 
testing I have done, and from the bug reports we have had, I would say that 
4.0 beta 2 is generally better, a good deal more stable and far more 
feature-rich than 3.113.1. And I know for a fact that the Gnatsweb 4 beta 
that comes with GNATS 4.0 beta 2 is the best Gnatsweb ever with regards to 
stability, correctness and usability.

All in all, if you are setting up a new site, jump into it and get GNATS 
4.0 beta 2. There are problems left, but they are not serious as far as I know.
