betaed

Note
One spelling does two jobs: the simple past (the studio betaed the update) and the participle after have or be (the chapter was betaed). The verb grew from the noun for the testing phase that follows alpha, and the online meaning, beta-reading a draft before it is posted, borrows the same idea. The -ed goes straight onto the final vowel, with nothing doubled or dropped.
