Anyone that could shed some light > on that? :) It's not a defined rule but a well known rule (well I hope). We are working on a document to explain the release status and version is on its way. A quick summary: A stable release should be at least 1.0 . A RC is not stable, but beta (ie current DB release is a bad example). We recommand (not a strong rule) to do not release a stable release as an initial release. Having an alpha/beta release help you to change bad stuffs. It is not always easy to get a """perfect""" package/api with the first shot. hth pierre
