It refers to the fact the that ABI / API's are stable, in that they aren't changing, and not that code / changes themselves are necessarily stable. Everyone does their best to commit "stable" changes but if your want very well tested -stable may not be for you -release may be a better option. That said if everyone sat on -release issues in -stable would never be found :P Steve ================================================ This e.mail is private and confidential between Multiplay (UK) Ltd. and the person or entity to whom it is addressed.
