We are trying a new release method. There is now an installation page accessible from the NewsFox
homepage. There are four releases there: Official, Next, K-Meleon, and Beta. A typical release cycle will go from Beta to Next to K-Meleon and Official. Releases will be announced on the NewsFox RSS feed with the 'Latest versions' article. The title of the article will indicate which releases have changed.
A Beta release will be similar to the version sent to translators, and may lack features that will be present in the final release, but will usually be polished enough that it is used on this developer's actual Newsfox folder. As with any beta software, use with caution.
The Next version allows us to release the final javascript code before all translations are finished. Some translators take two days, other two weeks or two months. Now, users in locales where NewsFox has been translated won't have to wait as long to update NewsFox. The Next version will add new languages as they are translated.
When the six K-Meleon languages are done, the K-Meleon version will be released. When enough languages are done, the official version at addons.mozilla.org will be released.
