RC = Release Candidate means:
We have finished 98%-100% of EVERYTHING and only _*FINAL*_ QA/Testing 
left to be done.

RC is the very final stage before the final release and after beta 
stage. Between Beta and RC, there is the daily build stage, which we are 
at right now.

> Shouldn't Beta be a fixed point?
Alpha, Beta, RC are milestones. These are just references and indeed 
fixed points to indicate and refer to the progress of a release.

Beta has been released already and it is done. Beta is not one-time-point.
ANYTHING that is keep moving and updating = that is a daily build.

> and then work toward a separate RC
To work toward the final stage of QA and Testing, that means we are 
working on the _*daily builds *_to get them ready to hit the next 
stage/level.

I know and I understand, but from this discussion, I came to realize 
that some important concepts are not yet very clear.
That is why I am trying to make things clear and easier :)

I just explained everything above and on:

Again, please refer back to the above replies and 
https://lists.launchpad.net/torios/msg02028.html as well.

The one and only reference here should be: daily builds.

Please, have a look at:

THIS ^^ what I am 100% sure that I have explained more than once 
before/previously :D

I have asked that several times but perhaps it was not as detailed as:

I hope everything is clear now?

In summary:
ToriOS ISO should be: daily build.
Example

torios-13062015.iso

Check:
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-gnome/daily-live/

And, if you go to:
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-gnome/

Perhaps you'll notice the difference between 'releases' and 'daily-live'.

Releases means: a milestone has been released and it is done.

By the way, a final release is a milestone :)
Once you release 1.0, it is done and you don't release 1.0 say 5 times 
and keep saying it is 1.0 because that is can't ever be.
Once you release a milestone, it is done.

So, after 1.0 is being released, we shall be back to the testing phase 
and start to get ready for 2.0 and the first step would be?
Yes, the daily build stage.

With 2.0, I will make sure everything is clear and easy from the 
beginning :)
