Before I go further, let me thank all of you both for your patience and your assistance in getting this Build tested.
Our goal for ACARS is to have a "stable" build, and a "development" build. This is the reason why Build 76 is in the Fleet Library - it's old, it's vanilla but it also works. Where we've fallen down recently is that we've had some significant issues with Builds 89 through 91, so significant that I decided to yank them all until I got something that I was satisfied with. That is now in the Fleet Library with Build 92.
Going forward, the ACARS client and server have the capacity to support beta builds. I'm going to be doing some testing with Build 92 and dispatch now, and if further changes are required we'll do a Build 93 beta while keeping 92 around for all of you who don't want to be on the edge. To be honest, I'd want nothing more than to stop work on ACARS, enjoy it and Dispatch and move on to other things, like XACARS support for X-Plane and some examination and Fleet updates.
So thanks again, sorry for the confusion and hopefully we'll be in good shape moving forward.
Cheers!

So, stop using 93 Beta 3 and move down to 92?

Daniel, Build 93 Beta 3 doesn't exist. Only Build 92 exists.
Luke, do we have to download Build 92 if we already have Build 92 Beta 3?

At some point I will be deprecating Beta 3 and Builds 90/91. It won't be for a while, but when you have a free minute please upgrade.
