Pre-release testing

Use in production environments
ZABBIX 1.1beta4 is BETA software, therefore we cannot
recommend it for immediate use in production. Although
tested throughout our release cycle, this release does not
have the benefit of use in production environments that
ZABBIX v1.0 has and therefore should be treated with the
same level of caution as a new product.
