CyanogenMod 以 M Build 替代所謂 “Stable”

CyanogenMod M Build

過往 CyanogenMod 都會為不同的版本推出 Stable Build,一般用家都視這個 Stable Build 為可使用版本。但 CyanogenMod 團隊將會修改這個發佈 Stable 做法,不會再有 Stable Build,往後只會有 M Build。

Don’t expect a build labelled ‘stable’. The ‘M’ builds have supplanted our need for such a release.

CyanogenMod 團隊在 Blog 解釋這個做法,他們指出 Stable Build 的 Stable 其實有些名不副實,還可能讓用家有一個錯覺。因為 Stable 不等如沒有 Bug,亦不代表功能完整。所以他們不再推出 Stable Build,因此 Stable Build 之前的 Release Candidates 亦不會再有。

Like the ‘stables’ before it, ‘M’ releases are built off the ‘stable/CM-##.#’ branches – the only difference is now frequency and label. We could have chosen to remove ‘M’ releases and stick with the ‘stable’ tag instead for these monthlies, but the word ‘stable’ itself is a misnomer – it doesn’t mean bug free and it certainly never meant feature complete; but with the name ‘stable’ it gave the false impression that it did mean those things – especially to those risk-adverse that would only hop from ‘stable’ to ‘stable’.

往後,就會以 M Build 作為最 Top Tier 的發佈。而稍後當新計劃準備好,將會每兩星期推出一次新的 “穩定” 版本。

Our goal is to get a release out every 2 weeks with the same quality and expectations you would have of a ‘stable’ release (label for that yet undecided).
