When will 1.4.0 be available?

[David_Chang]

One of my team members tested 1.4.0-beta against Saucelabs and found a regression.

Can you please check if this (https://github.com/appium/appium/issues/4702) was included in 1.4.0-beta?

@Neto18 Isn't this available by git cloning?

[Neto18]

@jwagun I also wanted to know about the no-beta version

[jonahss]

We're planning on releasing the non-beta version this week!
Thanks to all who are trying the Beta version, some bugs were caught. Now we can fix those prior to releasing 1.4

[jonahss]

Could you file an issue in the appium repo for the regression @David_Chang ? Thanks!
