Feature Release Stages
m3ter releases some features as Beta or Preview prior to General Availability. There are some important differences between these release stages that you should be aware of before using them:
Note: Documentation - release stage reminders. Topics in this user documentation that cover Beta or Preview release features will carry a reminder and link you back to these definitions.
Beta Release
Definition
We use the Beta release stage as a mechanism to give customers early sight of a feature and collect feedback. Beta features are typically made available to customers with relevant use cases who are often actively working with us on the feature’s development, but they are sometimes made available to all customers.
Constraints
Beta features may change in backwards-incompatible ways, and configuration may not persist from the Beta to future stages. We therefore recommend against using features at the Beta release stage for critical functionality.
Preview Release
Definition
Preview features are in the final stages of testing.
Constraints
Preview features are typically stable and only minor changes are made prior to becoming Generally Available. However, we recommend customers discuss with us prior to relying on them for critical functionality because backwards-incompatible changes do occasionally need to be made.
Service and Support
Service and Support Level Agreements (SLAs) are not applicable to Beta and Preview features.
