GA: Libraries defined at a GA quality level are expected to be stable and any backwards-incompatible changes will be noted in the documentation. Major changes to the API will signaled by changing major version number (e.g. 1.x.y -> 2.0.0).

Beta: Libraries defined at a Beta quality level are expected to be mostly stable and we're working towards their release candidate. We will address issues and requests with a higher priority.

Alpha: Libraries defined at an Alpha quality level are still a work-in-progress and are more likely to get backwards-incompatible updates. Additionally, it's possible for Alpha libraries to get deprecated and deleted before ever being promoted to Beta or GA.
