Great to hear about the new speedy stuff. I take it it’s not getting
backported into 1.4, so when’s 1.6 due?

Cheers,

Just a note for people who worry about using mainline version in
production.
The fact that there is version called “stable” doesn’t imply that the
other one
is “unstable”. We call one branch stable because we maintain internal
API and
feature set stability for 3rd-party developers, while mainline versions
gets
all improvements (and even more bugfixes).

Hi Valentin,

Thanks for that information.
However, since the usual way to do things is to have 2 branches:
production
& development, I guess the awaited people initial reaction is not to
trust
the ‘mainline’ branch.
I think it would be highly beneficial to mention somewhere (on the
downloads page?) that the mainline branch is production-ready.

Production managers are traditionally scared, so repeating and enforcing
the message would be highly beneficial. ;o)
