Tiger, This particular thread is in regards to the 1.3.x branch which is experiencing issues on Windows.
Being an ASF project our official releases are source releases and as such we don't really use the alpha/beta demarcation because we expect everyone that is testing our code to be building from source. We do have a notion of a release candidate but that comes during the official release process in terms of specific sha1 verifiable tarballs of source code. Until then we work directly off the version branches as we get ready to start the official release procedure. As to being unstructured, I'd just point out that this is the dev@ list for CouchDB where we discuss project development. If you're interested in listening for official release announcements and specific upgrade instructions you'll want to subscribe to the user@ or announce@apache.orglists for official release announcements. Subscribing to this list is only showing you how the sausage is made.
