OK, so there are two types of  freeze

1) feature freeze (after alpha, currently effective) and
2) code freeze (after beta).

So the image http://ftp.squeak.org/4.3alpha/Squeak4.3gamma-11793.zip
should be labeled http://ftp.squeak.org/4.3alpha/Squeak4.3beta-11793.zip

Thank you Edgar for providing this image.
