I went to http://www.mozilla.org/ to refresh my memory. The better term
for what I've been looking for is "milestone". I have no idea why they
distribute them from a releases directory instead of a milestone
directory, but that's why I was using the term "release". Milestones
usually are more reliable and/or stable than nightlies, which can have
patches put in for testing, to see what will happen. Using OS/2 I run
the nightlies mostly and find are report bugs and bug fixes fairly
often.

Some milestone versions are the base from which Netscape versions are
built. The last was made from 0.9.4.x. IIRC, 0.9.7 was the first
milestone that included tabbed browsing.
