Hi Chris,
sorry for the misunderstanding, I did not intend to affront you personally, but from your first response I gathered that you know about the details of classifying a release.
@all: I would like to raise the question of what use a release channel setup has if a new version can be released that does not seem to be fit for any of the channels? The channels choosen look quite alright to me - I can decide if you want to be ahead of the pack or be more on the safe side. That is how I read the channels:
- Production: very well debugged (if not bugfree, alas) and established release; at the moment, I would expect 8.1.4
- Stable: well tested, but with major changes; 8.2 at the moment
- Beta: Something like 8.2.1, also RC, for add-on devs for example or maintainers of large installations to prepare for upcoming changes
- Nightly: well, just that, nightly build, just for core developers
Also, I would like to remind everyone of the first line on the release notes page (https://owncloud.org/changelog/)
We recommend you follow our Release Channels to always have the latest ownCloud Server version which fits your needs.
So as an admin, I am urged to use release channels, but OC does not deliver what meet the expectations raised by itself.
To me it looks like there is a gap between outward communication and perception and the inner thinking about delivering updates; and if I may add, it seems at least possible that there is no common understanding in the developer community, as well.
Regards
Jim

Hi,
why is everyone thinking that if someone is answering somewhere that he is
instantly speaking for the project.
I'm not speaking for the project oC, i'm not related to ownCloud inc. at
all, i'm not a developer and i'm also not releasing anything ;-)
The post above was just my personal thinking about that.
> So please explain, in which release channel does 8.2 belong exactly?
In none i would say. It probably will hit "stable" as soon as it is "ready
for home users at minimal risk“. I don't see a problem here...
