Mohawk Software has several stages of release:

1) Experimental
This is not tracked reliably and is mostly the wild wild west of development. Changes occure rapidly and without notice.

2) Alpha
Like experimental, but notice is given on changes which greatly alter the stae of the project.

3) Beta 1
The project is feature complete and should be stable.

4) Beta 2
Problems found in beta 1 are corrected and tested in beta 2. Additional platforms are tested.

5) Beta 3, release candidate one
The project is feature complete and should be ready for release
