<para>When the level of functionality of the current development
release is judged adaquate, the <firstterm>Beta period</firstterm> for
a new Stable release will begin. Beta releases have identifications of
the form <emphasis>x.y.0-BetaN</emphasis> where <emphasis>x.y</emphasis>
is the number of the next Stable Release and <emphasis>N</emphasis>=1,2,3...
. Betas are expected to occur rougly once per year. Beta releases may
contain new functionality not present in the previous beta release
(e.g., 2.2.0-Beta4 may contain functionality not present in
2.2.0-Beta3). When I&#39;m confident that the current Beta release is
stable, I will release the first <firstterm>Release Candidate</firstterm>.
Release candidates have identifications of the form
<emphasis>x.y.0-RCn</emphasis> where <emphasis>x.y</emphasis> is the
number of the next Stable Release and <emphasis>n</emphasis>=1,2,3...
. Release candidates contain no new functionailty -- they only contain
bug fixes. When the stability of the current release candidate is
judged to be sufficient then that release candidate will be released
as the new stable release (e.g., 2.2.0). At that time, the new stable
release and the prior stable release are those that are supported.</para>
