What is REAL version of Torque Game Builder for Mac?

For the Mac...
Site said 1.1.2 and 1.1.3 wasn't available. I bought Pro, and it looked like I was downloading 1.1.3, but it wasn't clear, filename didn't have a version, etc.
Now that I'm looking at the source, it says:
/// Human readable version string.
#define TORQUE_GAME_VERSION_STRING "Torque Game Builder 1.1.0 (TGE 1.4.2)"
What is the current version? Do I have the current version? Is it 1.1.3 and is this an oversite?

This was followed by many whiny "When is the Mac version coming out?" threads and posts - most probably authored by me :)
There is also currently "1.5 beta 3" up. It's just as REAL as any version, but it's definitely a beta and has a few bugs to be ironed out before it's the OFFICIAL version. If you want the latest version with lots of cool new features try that one, but don't be surprised to find lots of things that aren't working quite right yet. If you want the latest stable version use 1.1.3.

Yes. It sounds like you have the current version. 1.1.3 for Mac was released about two months after the PC version. When the PC version was released there was a big snapshot and several plans and forum threads that all noted Mac version "coming soon".

Actually, I'd recommend the TGB 1.5 Beta over 1.1.3 .Share and Enjoy.

Paul, I've been out of the Torque loop for a while, so when I came back I found 1.5 beta, which was kind of surprising, given the old version was 1.1.3. What's the reason for the vast change in version number? (Skipping 1.2, 1.3, and 1.4)

Vern ... 1.5 is an almost completely different direction from the 1.1.x series ... I guess they figure it's halfway to a 2.0 release, haha ... ;)

Really, thanks for clearing that up. I just got worried for a sec.

Thanks guys. I was confused cos the "coming soon" language for the Mac was still up when I bought, but in the downloads section I remember it not being clear. Really, thanks for clearing that up. I just got worried for a sec.
