Alpha / Beta / RC / Release / Stable
Alpha version: Development experiments, meaning unstable, and hints that future development may be extremely severe changes. Usually this version will be released for "easy to correct the error", the logic is probably: throwing out something that knows questions, waiting to listen to the user's question (or blame), then developer according to these rewards Remove the bug one by one. BETA version: The error has been fixed in the Alpha version, which is not wrong in operation function. This version suggests that users can consider formally adopting, but there must be mental preparations that can be installed in the future. RC version: is the meaning of candidate official version. Release version: Official version. Stable version: Stable version.
