Why do people always assume that there is an 'it' to release? With a project this complex, it is highly unlikely that there is always a single ongoing 'current development version' of the software while it is being worked on. Instead, a (relatively) stable prior version will most likely be used as the base for revisions, and only when a new 'beta' is required will the revised software be compiled as a unit - at which point, it isn't a 'beta', but an 'alpha', until it is confirmed that there aren't (too many) new bugs introduced by the interactions between different changes.
