## An Open-Source, Distributed, Time Series Database ## An Open-Source, Distributed, Time Series Database
> InfluxDB v0.9.0 is now in the alpha phase. Builds are currently tagged as RCs, but they're alpha stage at this point. We will update this document when the first stable RC is ready. However, the current builds have an API that should not change significantly between now and the final 0.9.0 release. Most of the work we're doing now is focused on features and stability for clustering. So please develop against the current 0.9.0 RCs for new projects that won't go into production for a little bit. > InfluxDB v0.9.0 is now out. Going forward, the 0.9.x series of releases will not make breaking API changes or breaking changes to the underlying data storage. However, 0.9.0 clustering should be considered an alpha release.
