Ben added definitions for DP, RC, and Stable at the top of the Downloads page:
<http://downloads.livecode.com/livecode/>

GM is an older designation RunRev and some others no longer use. Back in the day it used to meam what "Stable" now means; before it in the sequence was often a "Golden Master Candidate" (GMC) which was similar to today's "RC".

The definitions provided there help explain why sometimes we see builds of very limited scope go directly to "RC"; they usually contain no new features, and the only changes are limited to a bug fixes of limited scope.
