Should I use the CVS/Dailybuilds or the stable releases?
For 1.6/1.8, our opinion is that the Dailybuilds are pretty stable and useful. They are being used in ‘shipping quality’ software. There has been a lot of improvement from 1.6 to the current 1.8 dev (CVS) so you might want to at least try that. The CVS is of course more prone to occational glitches and is probably only needed if you need to modify the source or try a very recent fix. The 2.0 dev version (SVN trunk) is quite volatile still (as of 2006-10-22) and is lacking some of the 1.8 functionality (we are changing some basics and are working with a subset of 1.8). All features will of course be ported. You are of course very welcome to try it and provide feedback.
