You are correct about the redundancy. I was trying to make the change as minor 
as possible. A somewhat better listing would be

GRASS GIS 7.8.5 (current stable)

GRASS GIS 7.6.1 (legacy) [change from “old”]

GRASS GIS 7.9 (preview) [“development” is OK, but “preview” sounds more 
inviting for use]

Hi,
If I may:
Devel (development)  has wording redundancy.
What about....7.9 snapshot (under development)
Regards from a lurker that admires the effort you guys put in.

 On the new download pages, I just noticed that the dev versions are referenced 
like this:



 GRASS GIS 7.9 devel (unstable)



 This implies that GRASS 7.9 is risky and perhaps minimally useable. The 
reality is that it works very well but has some new features that might be 
buggy or might change. While we want to indicate these differences from the 
current stable version, we don’t want to discourage people from trying it (and 
reporting any issues).



 I suggest that we reference it as



 GRASS GIS 7.9 devel (development)



 Or



 GRASS GIS 7.9 devel (preview)




 +1 good point, it indeed works well, and is in my experience more stable than 
many other software tools I use(d).
