One is called ``stable,'' the other ``unstable.'' <em>Most users should use the stable stream</em>, which has been well tested. (The unstable version is for users who wish to try out new features that are under development.) <p> Stable versions always have an even number as the middle number in their version designation, e.g. `<font color="#82140F"><code>2.6.0</code></font>', while unstable versions always have an odd number there, e.g. `<font color="#82140F"><code>2.7.0</code></font>'. This middle number indicates a sort of family of related releases. Within a stable stream, all versions sharing a given middle number have the same features; new releases are made only to fix bugs. Thus, version `<font color="#82140F"><code>2.6.1</code></font>' fixed bugs in version `<font color="#82140F"><code>2.6.0</code></font>'. <p> To learn more about the bugs, and their resolution, visit <a href="http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=browse&group_id=5511&atid=105511">`<font color="#82140F"><code>http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=browse&group_id=5511&atid=105511</code></font>'</a> and adjust the "status" menu to read "closed". <p> <UL> <LI><a href="StableStream.html#StableStream">Stable Stream</a>: <LI><a href="UnstableStream.html#UnstableStream">Unstable Stream</a>: </UL> </table> <img src="./resources/bottom_banner.gif" usemap="#navigate_bottom" border="0"> </body> </html>
