Hi Abhishek, In the relatively distant past (e.g., 6+ years ago), we marked a few commits with "stable" tags. However, these commits were no more stable than any other. It was completely arbitrary. I would not trust these commits any more than any other random commit 6 years ago.
At that time, we did not have any formal processes in place for stable versions of gem5. This is changing with gem5-20. Importantly, gem5-19 also is not any more "stable" than any other commit. gem5-19 is only being used for us to *test* these processes.
