Development (alpha)

In the alpha version, new features and modifications are being preliminarily reflected and tested.
It is intended only a limited number of sites under construction, and is not available to users.

Beta

At this stage, new features and changes that have passed the alpha stage are applied to active sites for verification and stabilization.
Select the beta version if you want to try out the latest features.

Note: Beta-only features are labeled below in the documentation.
Beta:Release version: βversion

Release candidate (RC)

Since users cannot select the exact date and time for features to be officially released, you can use the RC version to verify how your site will behave with these features prior to the stable release.

Note: RC-only features are labeled below in the documentation.
RC:Release version: β / RCversion

Stable

This is the stable or production release.
Use it for daily operation of your site with minimal impact from the addition of new features.

By default, you will be using the stable version when you sign up for a free trial.
