well I know that Gama comes after beta in the greek alphabet. its just that ive known programs where they go in the opposite direction in the development, inwich case beta would be the closest to the release and some thing like gama would be like a first test of a pice of software
hi,
like backslash has say, frist is alpha, then beta in software development.
but befor alpha came often use the software engineer pre-alpha.
thats a very early version of the software, there are not all componets included and the programm is very unstable.
in the alpha is the most part of the final software included but not all.
first in the beta all included and the final bugfixing begin.
but today the programmer use instead the normal closed beta prozess the Release Canidate or Community Preview.
both are not the same like the traditional closed beta, the community can work with the software and find errors.
so are the user more included in the software devolpoment.
