+builds always have an &quot;R&quot; at the beginning of the name i.e. R1.0, R2.0

+team after they have been used for a few days and deemed reasonably stable. The
+latest stable build is the right build for people who want to stay up to date
+with what is going on in the latest development stream, and don't mind putting
+up with a few problems in order to get the latest greatest features and bug fixes.
+The latest stable build is the one the development team likes people to be using,

+should take this version of the component. Integration builds are built from these
+stable component versions that have been specified by each component team as the
+best version available. Integration builds may be promoted to stable builds after
+a few days of testing. Integration builds are built whenever new stable component
