Stable
Builds Stable builds are integration builds that have been found to be stable enough for most people to use. They are promoted from integration build to stable build by the architecture team after they have been used for a few days and deemed reasonably stable. The latest stable build is the right build for people who want to stay up to date with what is going on in the latest development stream, and don't mind putting up with a few problems n in order to get the latest greatest features and bug fixes. The latest stable build is the one the development team likes people to be using, because of the valuable and timely feedback. |

Maintenance
Builds Maintenance builds are produced periodically to incorporate fixes into an existing release. They are typically built from tagged plug-in and feature pojects in a maintenance branch of the Git repository (i.e. R3_7_maintenance). Maintenance builds are promoted to a minor or service release (i.e. R3.7 or R3.7.1) after development teams have deemed one to be stable following one or more test-fix pass cycles. |

Patch
Builds Patch builds are produced rarely, but occasionally, to incorporate important fixes into an existing release, or perhaps even new features. They are intended to apply to only one specific release with the fixes or features being included in the next release. |
