Like Debian, Hyperbola uses codenames to identify different releases other than numeric versioning, and like Debian, Hyperbola has a release cycle involving different suites.
The 2 main suites in Hyperbola are, exactly like in Debian, stable and testing.
Following the Debian tradition of aliasing codenames to release names, Hyperbola will alias stable and testing to their respective release names:
Codename Release name Debian release Notes
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
stable milky-way stretch Matching release
testing white-hole stretch+1 Development release
Now, stable for Hyperbola is Milky Way, and testing release name is White Hole.
After Hyperbola milky-way becomes old-stable, a new names will be chosen from the list of known nearest galaxies of the Milky Way, in ascending order of distance.
