[Radiance-general] Radiance "Official" Release

[Kolomenski, Andrei (JSC-SF311)[WYLE INTEG. SCI. & ENG.]]

Dear Radiance Community,

What makes a Radiance release "official"?

Looking at the Radiance Github site (https://github.com/NREL/Radiance/releases), I see that version 4.2.2 is the latest "official" release, whereas 5.0.a.1, 5.0.a.2 and 5.0.a.3 are pre-release versions.

What makes a Radiance release "official"? Is there a validation procedure carried out? If so, who is in charge of this and what are some of the test cases used for validation?

Thank you in advance,
Andrei Kolomenski
