From the top of the Downloads page at <http://downloads.livecode.com/livecode/>:


 STABLE - These releases are stable public releases.

 RC     - Short for "Release Candidate", these releases are
          feature complete and have been made public to allow
          LiveCode developers to test whether they think the
          release is stable. Users who find bugs can file them
          at http://quality.runrev.com.

 DP     - Short for "Developer Preview", these releases are not
          feature complete and likely to contain bugs. They have
          been made public to allow LiveCode developers to
          experiment with the latest features and feedback to
          the team. Users who find bugs can file them at
          http://quality.runrev.com.


"GM" is an older designation for "Stable", harkening back to the days when software was shipped on CDs: it stands for "Golden Master", and back in the early days master builds were sent to the disk duplicator using especially high-quality media which had a golden color.
