No, it’s released. There is no beta period for minor releases.

Thanks. It's just that there is a warning at the top of the page:

`This functionality is in beta and is subject to change. The design and code is considered to be less mature than official GA features. Elastic will take a best effort approach to fix any issues, but beta features are not subject to the support SLA of official GA features.`

That is related to the Windows MSI installer as an installation mechanism, not Elasticsearch 6.1 itself.
