+ builds (not
+ <a href="#official-releases">official release builds</a>)
+ for each merged Pull Request (PR) and/or on
+ a nightly basis. These builds, by default, are tagged
+ <b><em>'latest'</em></b> and appear under their respective GitHub
+ component's release tab and are intended for developer
+ evaluation and testing only.
+ </p>
+ <p>In some special cases,
+ Committers on the project may choose to use GitHub to tag
+ certain builds as they become closer to being Release Candidate
+ (RC) builds. However, <em>any build tagged within GitHub with
+ either 'latest' or any other tag <strong>do NOT have
+ official Apache project release status</strong>.</em>

+ undergo a rigorous process to be approved and are linked
