过往 CyanogenMod 都会为不同的版本推出 Stable Build，一般用家都视这个 Stable Build 为可使用版本。但 CyanogenMod 团队将会修改这个发布 Stable 做法，不会再有 Stable Build，往后只会有 M Build。
Don’t expect a build labelled ‘stable’. The ‘M’ builds have supplanted our need for such a release.
CyanogenMod 团队在 Blog 解释这个做法，他们指出 Stable Build 的 Stable 其实有些名不副实，还可能让用家有一个错觉。因为 Stable 不等如没有 Bug，亦不代表功能完整。所以他们不再推出 Stable Build，因此 Stable Build 之前的 Release Candidates 亦不会再有。
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’.
往后，就会以 M Build 作为最 Top Tier 的发布。而稍后当新计划准备好，将会每两星期推出一次新的 “稳定” 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).
