In this section we will give a brief overview of the CLAM development process. It must be pointed out that this overview does not assume that the process has ended. As a matter of fact, an open framework such as CLAM will probably never be completely finished. Although at the time of this writing current release is still 0.5.x, which actually means that it is a bet non-stable stage, release 1.0 is not very far away and the framework has already reached a mature stage and the pending issues to make it more stable are clearly identified and are being addressed (see A.1).
