-This software is currently in beta. We don't have a schedule for the final 4.0 release. This work is being done by a [tiny number of people](https://github.com/processing/processing4/graphs/contributors?from=2019-10-01&to=2022-08-09&type=c) who continue working on it, unpaid, because they care about it. The beta is the default download on the site because it's more usable than the 3.5.4 release.
