-# Beta builds
+# Release candidate builds
 
-For those of us who like to live on the edge!
+We create a release candidate (RC) build when we get close to a new release and publish these to make new features available for testing. 
+RC builds are not recommended for production use.
 
-We can cut a release at any point from the `/dev` branch if you want to test a particular feature.
-Simply let us know you would like to test a feature from dev and we're happy to cut a beta release.
