Even though it is a beta version it is stable and has better features than 1.0.1. To keep up on IDV information, I suggest you subscribe to the IDV user mailing list (address@hidden). We announce new releases and other IDV information there. It is also a list where you could ask questions and share suggestions with other IDV users.
