</font></font><font face="Ubuntu"><font face="Ubuntu">This version
of Rudder is a final release. We have tested it thoroughly and
believe it to be free of any major bugs.<span
class="WYSIWYG_HIDDENWHITESPACE" style="{encoded:'n'}"
data-mce-style="{encoded: 'n'};"></span> However, this branch
is not marked "stable", since it still has to be proven reliable
on production systems over a period of several months. The
current "stable" release is 2.6.*.</font><br>
