The development release (also called “testing release” in the honor of the Debian Linux distribution) is the place where you can take part in the development of mAirList by testing the latest improvements (which are often encouraged by the mAirList community, proposing new features in the forums). The purpose is to present these improvements to the public and receive feedback and, possibly, bug reports. As development versions may contain errors, you should not use them in a production environment.

After a certain time, no more features will be added, some final bug fixing takes place, and the latest development version will be turned into the new stable release. At the same time, a new development release will be started where the next improvements are implemented.

Development versions have an odd number in the middle of the version number, for example 1.5.x or 2.1.x.
