Criteria for Stable VS. Experimental

[heuristic]

I have been a little behind in router flashing lately, and just noticed the switch on the download page... when does a build make the jump from Experimental to Stable, and just how risky is experimental??????

I live on the edge, so I will probably just go ahead and flash, but its getting hard to keep up with the change log!

See here.

The idea is that critical bug-fixes get committed to the stable branch, but most new stuff goes in the experimental branch. That way, someone who just wants stuff to work, and doesn't care as much about newer features, can go with the old version. That way they can avoid problems caused by newer/untested changes.

Okay, thanks, that is clear. Keep up the good work. I like the new bandwidth usage pages.
