Thank you, all

[David]

I am just re-phrasing my previous question here.


Before the official Beta was published, was there an in-house test-Beta and
also a rc-Beta ?

Or were the published ISO’s today, the same as one of the above ?

I am just curious how it all plays out.

I think I am still a newbie when it comes to all things Fedora related.

The ISOs available on the website today are the same as Beta release
candidate 3 (or 1.3, depending on where you look. That's not relevant
here) built and tested last week.

Release Engineering generates composes nightly, which get testing over
the development cycle. As we approach a release milestone, QA requests
a release candidate. These are what get the full set of validation
testing. If blockers need to be fixed, we generate and re-test a new
release candidate. If there are no blockers and the candidate is
declared "go" for release, those RC artifacts are what get published.

Does that help?
