| * A package version has a "state" (as indicated in the package.xml file), which describes the maturity. The state may be one of "alpha", "beta", "RC" or "stable" (listed in the order of code maturity). Please note that the state "RC" is achieved by using the state "beta" and appending the version number with "RC" followed by an integer | * A package version has a "state" (as indicated in the package.xml file), which describes the maturity.

| * In package.xml, the 'status' field for a release may be any of "alpha", "beta" or "stable". These states should be reflected in the version number: a "stable" release should be at least 1.0.0, for example. A Release Candidate is signified by RCx in the version number and a "beta" status in package.xml. | * In package.xml, the 'status' field for a release may be any of "alpha", "beta" or "stable".
