Prefect Community

Hey <@ULVA73B9P> why do prefect has release tags like `prefect-sqlalchemy-0.5.0rc2`  ?

The release tags like `prefect-sqlalchemy-0.5.0rc2` are part of a versioning strategy often used to indicate *release candidates* (denoted by `rc`). These tags mark specific points in the development lifecycle where the software is nearly ready for release but might still need some final testing or minor adjustments.

For more details, you can find information about Prefect's release cycles on their <https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect|GitHub repository>.

If you need further specifics, could you please clarify what aspect you're interested in?
