Programming Phoenix ≥ 1.4 is coming on 2018-06-10, but when will be the beta available? Does anyone know?

I assume you’ve seen this?
I’m sure that everybody is doing their best to get the beta out - but given that the book is only one of many of their responsibilities it may take a little more time to get out.
And as such I would expect the “print book” publishing date of 2018-06-10 to be tentative at this point (hence the phrasing “on or about”).
This title will be available on or about 2018-06-10.

The beta for Programming Phoenix >= 1.4 is expected by the middle of May, 2018. The Ecto book should be out just before that. These are of course estimates, because writing books is nothing like a software project 
Be sure to follow @pragprog on twitter or sign up for our Wednesday newsletter so as not to miss anything.
And yes, upgrades within an edition are always free. And when you buy a beta book, you get all the later releases of that book for free. For upgrades to a new edition, it can vary book-per-book. Usually we try to make it either free or 60-80% off. It depends on how much work the author(s) have had to try, we want to be fair to them and them incredible amount of time and dedication it takes to put a book out.

Hi, Andy,
I’ve seen that the beta is out and really want to read this new version. Can I get an upgrade discount?

hey,
i can’t run this command (that is found at page 18)
mix archive.install https://github.com/phoenixframework/archives/raw/
master/1.4-dev/phx_new.ez
it ends up with
** (Mix) Expected a local file path or a file URL ending in ".ez".
for some reason, there’s no repo at that address.
thanks

Looking at the page
GitHub - phoenixframework/archives: Holds archives for released Phoenix versions · GitHub
possibly
https://github.com/phoenixframework/archives/blob/master/1.4-dev/phx_new.ez?raw=true
???
just guessing
Hmmm … content seems to be identical to
