The main release viewer IS the former Beta viewer. That's always the case - Beta viewers are simply a test version of the next release viewer. If there's some configuration problem that means you can't run a release viewer but can run a beta viewer you should describe it so you could get it fixed.

Also, just in case you're wondering, you don't have to use a Beta viewer to access the Beta grid - just go into "Preferences - Advanced" and select "Show Grid selection at login."

Its working fine,its just that I dont really like the IM and chat new interface.

I use beta because it seems to be a lot faster,but I will give the non-beta viewer a chance.

Better get accustomed to it if you want to stick with the official viewer. With server-side baking soon to be released, you will have to use a current viewer unless you like seeing people in gray. For the official viewer, this means you will also get the new chat interface. If you don't like that, you still might choose a third-party viewer that has a different interface.
