On 5 January 2001 Beonex was included in the [[Linux distribution]] [[kmLinux]] version S-0.4, but was removed in version S-0.5 released on 23 March 2001.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.lernnetz-sh.de/kmLinux/changes.html|access-date=1 February 2011|title=Entwicklungsgeschichte|date=6 December 2004|publisher=[[Schleswig-Holstein]]|archive-date=19 August 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100819141858/http://www.lernnetz-sh.de/kmLinux/changes.html|url-status=dead}}</ref> Beonex 0.8 was released in June 2002 received positive reviews about its speed.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.linux-magazin.de/Heft-Abo/Ausgaben/2002/12/Jagdgesellschaft/(offset) |title=Jagdgesellschaft |first=Oliver |page=2 |last=Kluge |year=2002 |issue=12 |access-date=29 January 2011 |language=de |publisher=[[Linux-Magazin]] |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110928110158/http://www.linux-magazin.de/Heft-Abo/Ausgaben/2002/12/Jagdgesellschaft/%28offset%29 |archive-date=28 September 2011 }}</ref><ref name="linux community" />

'''Beonex Launcher''' (BeOL, spoken B-O-L), was an additional upcoming product that never left [[alpha status]]; it was a stripped-down version of Beonex Communicator: a Web browser combined with an email client and a chat client.<ref>{{cite web|first=Ben|last=Bucksch|publisher=Beonex Communicator|url=http://www.developer.beonex.com/beol/|title=BeOL|access-date=7 February 2011}}</ref>

With a few preview releases of version 0.9 in mid-2002, Bucksch showed some new features he wanted to integrate, but before this version gained a stable status, he announced on 2 March 2004 that no new releases were planned until the [[Mozilla Foundation]] decided its future policy.<ref>{{cite web|publisher=[[LinuxUser]]|url=http://www.linux-magazin.de/Heft-Abo/Ausgaben/2005/09/Soll-der-Fuchs-ihn-holen|language=de|access-date=7 February 2011|date=September 2005|title=Soll der Fuchs ihn holen|first=Oliver|last=Kluge|volume=9}}</ref> In 2005, the Mozilla Foundation officially changed its policies and created the [[Mozilla Corporation]] to provide end-user support.

''Beonex Communicator 0.8.2-stable'' has several known security issues.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/7363|publisher=[[Security Focus]]|access-date=29 January 2011|title=Mozilla Browser Cross Domain Violation Vulnerability|date=16 April 2003|archive-date=6 October 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111006045847/http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/7363|url-status=dead}}</ref> Beonex never received much market share.<ref name="holger" />

In October 2020, the distributor of Beonex joined the [[Coalition for App Fairness]], which defends the rights of app developers.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Coalition for App Fairness, a group fighting for app store reforms, adds 20 new partners|url=https://techcrunch.com/2020/10/21/coalition-for-app-fairness-a-group-fighting-for-app-store-reforms-adds-20-new-partners/|access-date=2020-11-25|website=TechCrunch|language=en-US}}</ref>
