That's very outdated advice, though understandable. For a long time, the
latest version you could get was 3.2. We now have 3.6.1 available through
apt-get on Ubuntu. This is quite new enough for most people. We're lucky
now to have Maitland working closely with us and Debian to make up-to-date
versions available.

As Martin said, there's always a desire to have the latest and greatest,
and we are moving quite fast with bug fixes and new features. But those new
features also come with their own bugs and issues.

What I'd really like to see happen is that the majority of our users go
with the distributed versions, including the ones available through your
package manager. Only those who are developers or if someone identifies a
particular need, feature, bug fix, etc. in the newer code would move to
getting GNU Radio through our git repos.
