I tried that but is not possible to follow 🙂 , when you upload an "even" and then you found something fast to fix it becomes uneven lol, or another solution is to just jump over the numbers (always release as even), in other words: ignoring entirely uneven numbers 🤔 > [@triantares](#): > > Or are you intending to number the stable 3.8? described here [Elive versioning numbers assigned to releases](https://forum.elivelinux.org/t/elive-versioning-numbers-assigned-to-releases/991) > [@triantares](#): > > Getting alpha's out to the general public is just asking for mayhem. Considering all I'd go for publicizing the beta versions for discussion. Apha is just too breakable and too open to divergence. Yeah, agree with that, i would put everything on single threads for the alphas because of that, but also because is faster for us (all) to talk like a chat, in a fast way discuss + fix, discuss + fix (searching for threads and switching the web page everytime is slower, less efficient imho), its better to have that "good structure" (which i agree with) for a more ready versions (beta) As the link previously show, there should be: alpha, beta, release-candidate, stable (with their numbers) --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.elivelinux.org/t/do-we-need-an-elive-3-7-alpha-category-section/1108)._
