Discourse 为什么还在 Beta 版？

[Openmind (Torsten Därr)]

大家好，正在构建我网站的开发团队问我为什么 Discourse 仍处于测试阶段。由于我不是开发人员，所以我不知道这个问题的答案。您能告诉我答案吗？非常感谢，Torsten

Beta只是几个分支之一。这是一篇解释Discourse如何处理发布的帖子：

Updates always come before release notes

This post was last updated 2021-06-28T04:00:00Z (UTC) to detail the current processes. Hi everyone! Multiple topics to address here, let me see if I can cover them all. This is an intentional decision on our end. We don’t have a formal release system for our beta releases. We put out a new release when it makes sense for us to do so. As such, there is generally little warning before a release, and thus not a lot of time to write up release notes. @codinghorror decided it did not make sense …

还有一个关于 #howto:faq 的主题

Is Discourse always in "beta"?

I noticed that every now and then my Discourse site send me an email telling that a new version is available to install, but every time the version is “x.y.z.beta something”, so I’d like to know: is Discourse always some “beta” version? Is it good to install in a production environment (i.e. to serve hundreds, maybe thowsands people)? Or does this concerns only free and not “cloud” versions?

如果他们找不到答案，我不得不怀疑他们还有什么做不到或无法找到的。如果他们无法回答这个问题，他们将如何弄清楚如何定制它？
