The beta version 3.1.2B ran until 1st of April 1996.

The beta version 3.1.2G ran until January 1997.
The reason for this is that the beta server, that is still being
developed,
should not be used eternally. As a result, the XFree86 team is not
permanently addressed with questions and problems with old beta versions
that are solved long ago.
The background of the "expiring date" is that for some time a CD (not by S.u.S.E.) is appeared with X servers (beta versions) that were already a year old. The fewer the graphic cards that ran with it, the fuller the XFree86 people's mailfolder. Consequently, so this does not happen again, the beta servers, which by the way are not available in the source code too, are supplied with an expiring date. The release versions however run as always without time restriction.

We at S.u.S.E. make an effort to have new beta servers ready for you before the deadline. Since, like our customers, we depend at this point on XFree, we cannot however guarantee anything.
