+% Release Channels
+
+<small>There is a new edition of the book and this is an old link.</small>
+
+> The Rust project uses a concept called ‘release channels’ to manage releases.
+> New nightly releases are created once a day.
+> Every six weeks, the latest nightly release is promoted to ‘Beta’.
+> At that point, it will only receive patches to fix serious errors.
+> Six weeks later, the beta is promoted to ‘Stable’.
+

+This chapter does not exist yet in [the second edition][2].
