You are off-by-one from what we normally use DEVEL - We are still adding features, but this release is beleived to be reasonably stable suitable for evaluating what has been done so far. PRE - We are done adding features. Please help us hunting down the last bugs. RC - No more known bugs to fix. We think it's stable. Please verify. STABLE - We think it's stable production release. DEVEL releases is rarely needed as the nightly snapshot releases serves this purpose well. Came to light during the very extended Squid-3.0 development cycle with lots of major restructuring and destabilization taking place.. > > The non-major but important bugs can be fixed during DEVEL and PRE > > cycles.

It's not much use in releaseing a PRE with known major blockers. Regards Henrik
