I wasn't sure whether to change a script in there for Java, so I added a TODO. Should a doc or blurb be added as to why we decided to change?


##### Incrementing after release (Python)

**Preview Release:** `1.0.0b1` -> `1.0.0b2`
**Beta Release:** `1.0.0b1` -> `1.0.0b2`

@heaths I'm torn about changing this language. It is still a preview release we just happen to use "beta" for the prerelease tag. Do you think it is better to call these beta releases?

On a similar note I'm going to be changing the tags for "dev" builds to use "alpha" for the prerelease tag but I plan to still refer to them as daily dev releases as opposed to alpha releases.

I see you're point, but worry that would be confusing (calling it "beta" some places and "preview" others), and could be cause for alarm as to why we are making this change in the first place. Seems better to scrub "preview" in as many places as possible. I just made sure to leave any references to service previews as-is (weren't many).

I've updated my PR to refer to it as beta release anywhere we were talking about our libraries, and kept the work preview when referring to the service version.

This one requires more work elsewhere before we can change. It is tied to the docs and they still refer to things as preview so I'm not likely going to change that.

Closing in favor of #1536. I believe I have captured everything you have here in my PR but please let me know if I missed something.
