The vey meaning of "stable" in a Debian context is that software versions don't (usually) change over the course of a release. Therefore it's no surprise that libraries in jessie (released last month) are more up-to-date than those in wheezy (released in 2013). -- Liam -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
