Development Stages

From KJams Wiki

• δ) development: still adding new features, not all features are in, some are only just working enough for you to get by. Because i'm adding new features, this inevitably means i'm introducing bugs, things may break that were working before. But there's enough there for you to work with, you should be able to do *something*. English only. (tho i've jumped this particular gun and have beta german and french)
• 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. Foreign language support added toward end of this stage.
• β) beta: all major and most all minor features are in, no crashing bugs, UI done, foreign languages supported. 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 "release" during the beta stage. There are also "inbetween" versions, which I call "rogue" builds, that happen between real versions, these are designated by the letter "r" in the build number, eg: 1.0δ12r3, that's rogue build number 3 of development release 12.
