Note about naming of development builds going forward
For historical reasons, in-development versions of Corona have been released under the name of "Daily Builds". This name has not made a great deal of sense for some years however, since those releases are usually weeks apart! After today, we'll be calling these Previews instead of calling them Daily Builds. This means a release cycle will look like this (we'll assume there is always a Hotfix for any given final release, and only one of those):
Corona X Release version
Corona X+1 Preview, repeat as necessary
Corona X (Hotfix 1) Release version
Corona X+1 Preview, repeat as necessary
Corona X+1 Release Candidate, repeat as necessary
Corona X+1 Release version
On the download page, both Preview and Release Candidate builds will be listed under the "Preview" category since they are the same in having undergone full QA, and RCs are simply Previews that are feature-complete and come out after a feature freeze. There's no change to anything other than the naming :)
