"3.0.0" (just 3.0, actually), at the date you mention, is *not* in the stable branch. That was on the current branch. 3.1-release, which should be out this week, is on the stable branch. Since the 2.x line is not going to receive further development, by all means you should go to 3.x-stable. BUT, wait until 3.1-release. > Here's my concern.

Unfortunately, I can't answer this question. But, if it is supported at all, it should be supported on the 3.x-stable branch. -- Daniel C.
