Unfortunately, FreeRADIUS doesn't have a formal release schedule or proce-
dure. In most software projects, I'd recommend the 0.4 branch, but there's
no good answer, here. The snapshot has fixed a few bugs that the last
release had. But, there are almost certainly a few new bugs introduced in
the new code.
In software projects that haven't ever released a major release (usually
"1.0"), there's usually a point at which the developers decide that there
are the right amount of features for a major release. FreeRADIUS hasn't yet
done that, so untested code is always intermingled with tested code, and at
any point, there are a dozen bugs to fix before a real release could be
possible.
So, you're screwed either way. I'd suggest getting the 0.4 release and back-
porting the current bugfixes.
Be sure you understand the license on FreeRADIUS, too.
