It is also possible to pre-release work-in-progress features, which means new features are released that are not quite done yet. These can be seen as a sort of "beta". These versions should be appended with <code>-betaX</code>, where <code>X</code> is the number of the pre-release. Already released versions before the initial release can not go into pre-release; a variable must be incremented (e.g. the <code>MINOR</code> variable) and others updated before applying this classifier. | It is also possible to pre-release work-in-progress features, which means new features are released that are not quite done yet.
