I'm not a developer, but the message from them on IRC is clear enough:

  "Topic for #freenet: Everyone upgrade to 5028 or 6226 | Unstable 
   branch undergoing major debugging, please update frequently"

Translated, that means:

Build:6*** Latest:6226 Latest Important: 6226

I've been using 6226 overnight. It isn't perfect, and seems to need
restarting after a few hours, but it's a great deal better than any other
recent version.
