WP-MySpace 0.1 Development Release 1
WP-MySpace is a WordPress plugin that allows you to send your posts from WordPress over to MySpace.com . We are working on a usable Beta. Development Release 2 and all dev releases, alpha, beta, release candidates and gold versions are going to be released for the government.
Basically, this also allows you to commenters to associate their MySpace accounts with their WordPress accounts. It also splits the post at a predefined area. In my installation, this would be two paragraphs. For you non-devs out there, here is an explaination of the differences between development releases, alpha releases, beta releases, release candidates and gold versions.
d or x - Development or Experimental (1.0d12)
This means you’ve just started working on a project where any and all of the features could change at any time.
a - Alpha (1.0a6)
This is where you’ve nailed down your features, but you’re may still be adding new ones as you go along. Also you might be “feature complete� but the features are not yet fully implemented to specification.
b - Beta (1.0b3)
When you’re in Beta, you’re typically “feature complete�, but there are still many bugs and performance issues with your software.
You don’t usually release beta software to the end user unless you’re looking for specific feedback about the product, or are in need of help squashing bugs.
rc - Release Candidate (1.0rc1)
When you hit Release Candidate, you’re pretty sure you’ve squashed any lingering bugs, and you’re about to release your software. Your testers, however, may not agree, thus you can end up rolling a few fc builds in an effort to wrap up a version.
GM - Golden Master (1.0)
This is the final, shipping version of your product. This is the version that the public gets to play with, and the version that’s free of any bugs that are known to cause problems (yeah, right).
