The Open edX community can share knowledge and improvements more easily when most people use the same stable, consistent version of the Open edX codebase. To that end, edX is creating a series of Open edX releases, which are distinct from the weekly deployments to edx.org and have a longer release cycle (on the order of several months between each release). These releases will be tested both by edX and by the Open edX community, and with each subsequent release we will include instructions for how to upgrade from the previous Open edX release.
