Microsoft Asp.net 5 DNX runtime version is still in beta?

I'm bit confused, hope anyone clarify me. I'm Currently working in Asp.Net 5. Most of the DLL's and Framework are in beta as mentioned below. Can we start developing an app using this beta version?

The ASP.NET 5 team just made this announcement to make Beta 7 available. This is the current stable version that most people should be using.

The Beta 8 version that you have listed looks like a nightly build. It will be unstable and some thing's might not work properly.

The choice of which version you use is up to you but I personally stick to the stable versions. As for moving your code to production, it's not entirely safe to do so yet. It's Beta for a reason, some thing's still aren't 100% there and some things are still just missing. However, if you are going to production in a few months time then you can consider using ASP.NET 5.
