Hello,

I want to upgrade from 0.6. I just want to ask whether I should use ver  
0.7  
or 0.8? Is ver 0.8 stable enough? Thanks a lot.

I run 0.8.x, no complaints.

I would say the only stability question is if you plan on trying one  
of the new features in 0.8.x. That’d be my only concern, but even  
then, nginx is pretty solid so I would give it a go first.

“Stable enough” for what? Igor’s development branch is more stable than  
stable branches of many other projects. Many of the users on this list  
use the development branch. That’s where the new features are  
introduced. Some of them are backported to the “stable” branch, others  
are not.

Version 0.7 is the stable version.  
Version 0.8 is development version
