Definitions of Release Types
- Alpha Release
- Beta release
- Release Candidate (aka Gamma) release
- Generally Available (aka Production) release
Alpha is for preview purposes only.
Beta releases are appropriate for use with new development. Within beta releases, the features and compatibility should remain consistent. However beta releases may contain numerous and major unaddressed bugs.
Release Candidate (aka Gamma) release
Release Candidate binaries, also known as Gamma releases, are believed stable, having passed all of MySQL's internal testing, and with all known fatal runtime bugs fixed. However this release has not been in widespread use long enough to know for sure that all bugs have been identified.
Generally Available (aka Production) release
Generally Available (GA), also know as Production releases, are stable, having successfully passed through all earlier release stages and believed to be reliable, free of serious bugs, and suitable for use in production systems
