These are the states that a release group can be in.
In the final database, every value can be analyzed regarding "released yes/no" and "development status".
Not all combinations of these the values are meaningful (see matrix below).
released status
yes - officially
yes - unofficially
no
development status
Development finished
in closed beta
in open beta
continuous development (This case is designed for games like Battle for Wesnoth which are in constant development and see stable releases regularly)
development cancelled
Vaporware
Combination matrix (every cell will be a referencable from games/releases, but only one value at a time, like every data list)
