That will be released after they are done testing the final non-supported beta version of vb 3.8

IT is still beta and not yet supported. It will no longer be beta when it is released as Gold.

It means that we think 3.8.0 is ready for final release but want to do some additional testing to make sure. If no critical bugs are found than it can be released as final without changes.

There's some files in 3.7 that not exist in 3.8?

If yes, is necessary to delete this unnecessary files?
