Try out the XenForo 2.3.8 Preview!

This is implied in the first post but there will only be one Preview and it will not be updated.

The next release will be 2.3.8 stable.
@Chris D — is there a new flag we should be using for preview builds?
Code:
d = release state
1 → alpha
3 → beta
5 → release candidate
6 → preview (maybe?)
7 → stable
 
Not really. It's up to you.

Our approach for this is 2030870 (usually indicating stable) is the Preview version ID
2030871 (usually indicating a patch release) is the Stable version ID
 
I like the Preview idea. I feel like it's the same as before and this normally would have been official release, but since there's the odd bug or two after a release, the now "official" release is the previous patch. The reason this works is many people have stated how they wait a few days after a release to see if there's bugs or a patch. This new way, there's no waiting since the official release will have addressed those bugs. I'll be waiting for the official and will not hesitate, thank you.
