> Creating this issue to decide on whether we want to call current release
> planned as alpha/beta.
> As per , http://www.apache.org/dev/release.html#release-types doc :
> ----
> Releases are packages that have been approved for general public release,
> with varying degrees of caveat regarding their perceived quality or potential
> for change. Releases that are intended for everyday usage by non-developers
> are usually referred to as "stable" or "general availability (GA)" releases.
> Releases that are believed to be usable by testers and developers outside the
> project, but perhaps not yet stable in terms of features or functionality,
> are usually referred to as "beta" or "unstable". Releases that only represent
> a project milestone and are intended only for bleeding-edge developers
> working outside the project are called "alpha".
> ----
> With above type definitions, I would say current lens release is beta release
> wrt stability. We can update compatibility doc
> http://lens.incubator.apache.org/releases/compatibility.html with respect
> alpha/beta releases to be open to make incompatible changes in minor version
> upgrades and tools/docs to be made available in the release history page.
> Version Number :
> Incubator release docs
> http://incubator.apache.org/guides/releasemanagement.html#best-practices-release-candidates
> and
> http://incubator.apache.org/guides/releasemanagement.html#best-practice-versioning
>
> say use 0.x releases for alpha/beta releases than numeric releases. But since
> lens release is called 2.x, I'm thinking add -alpha/-beta in the release name.
> Thoughts?
