/etc/redhat-release meaning

Fairly new to RedHat. Can someone tell me what the version that I am working on.
cat /etc/rehdat-release shows
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.4 Beta (Tikanga)

I would think that this is RedHat 5 update 4. I don't know how what Beta and (Tikanga) means. Is this truly beta code?
