What is a Development Version?

A Development Version is a phased early adopter release preceding a full release. Rather than all new features being released in the first iteration of a full release, we phase the new features across iterations of a ‘development release’. At the end of its development cycle, a full release is introduced and the development release retired, since it is essentially converted into a Full Release. For more information, please refer to the Sicon Release Policy.
