Development Stages

• δ) development: adding new features, introducing bugs, things don't work, but you should be able to do *something*
• α) alpha: most major features in, still buggy, but much better. most UI is done, but can change to add features, fix bad designs. mostly we're adding minor features, polishing major features.
• β) beta: all major and most all minor features are in, no crashing bugs, UI done. now we're mostly fixing bugs, making very minor tweaks in features, and boosting performance, polishing and occasionally adding last minute minor feature.
• RC) release candidate: this should ship unless there's a bug. only fixing critical bugs during this stage

We're currently in the first stage, development. During each stage, there are several releases, numbered incrementally, eg: 1.0β15 is the 15th "version" released during the beta stage. There are also "inbetween" versions, which I call "rogue" builds, that happen between real versions, eg: 1.0δ12r3, that's rogue build number 3 of development release 12.
