We would have a RC cycle between the beta phase and the definitive release. The cycle would go that way : Beta(last)-> RC(1) -> RC(n) -> RC(last) == Release(x.y.0) - Beta(last) After some betas, we consider the thing is stable enough and will not have any catastrophic behavior so we're confident users can go and test it without any major harm. - RC cycle We try to promote the RCs as much as possible so we have enough people testing with their actual workflow and data (This is the only way to iron out all the bugs). - RC(last) Once the reported _and_ fixed bugs is low enough or even better, zero. We know this is good for release so **we don't touch it**, just rename it to release x.y.0 The hotfix releases (x.y.n) will continue to come out when problems are found in the field after release. This is not rocket science and pretty much the proven standard in the industry.
