Just the TODO section.

Nah, I had 2.x alpha to play around with over summer. It was released 
sometime in april unless I'm much mistaken. "released beta" in this case 
means "available for developers as a CVS checkout". The first snapshot 
wasn't until much later.

That's because it isn't an enterprise level opensource project. If 
you're thinking GCC, Samba, MySQL or Linux (as in "the linux kernel"), 
those projects have substantial corporate backing with several full-time 
employees writing code. Ethan maintains Nagios alone, and he is the only 
one with write access to the CVS repository.
