1. git Applications/xx.yy is the recent stable version including bug
fixes. This branch follows the KDE Project's versioning scheme.
Currently, we see git Kdenlive Applications/16.04, with tags for 16.04,
16.04.1, 16.04.2. Next stable branch will be Applications 16.10. Normal
users please stay on these branches. These branches receive backported
fixes as we also find them in the main development branch. Jean-Baptiste
does an incredible good job on this!
2. git master is unstable. git master is unstable. git master is
unstable. git master is ... unstable!
It is currently in a mixed state, stability depends on what you intend
to do. Use at your own risk or to report bugs. Some bugs I've noticed
are duplicates of transitions that basically trash your project when
moving a clip group containing transitions. Another one is that sometime
keyframes cannot be set on effects, as the keyframe table view seems to
get completely out of sync with the MLT keyframes and messes up offsets.
Best regards,
Harald

I think the releases strategy should change, to allow professional users
to report bug reports in a "stable" production environment:
Mark at least one "supported" version as other projects do (LTS~ESR) and
backport released bugfixes that concerns to that version.
I know this implies to maintain a "testing" (git) + a "stable" version
(LTS), but:
1. Some GNU/Linux distributions could package Kdenlive "stable" and
maintain packaging of bugfixes updates.
2. Professional users could trust a concrete Kdenlive version for
critical projects, without thinking in "other software issues".
3. Kdenlive "stable" version could help project to be known (even more)
as reliable software for any time.
4. Bugfixes made for "LTS" version could improve the base for developing
features in the "latest" version, because those features are written
over a more solid and consistent source code.
5. Another consequence is to balance developer efforts between
wide-known bugfixing and new features.

Hi there, Narcis.
There really is just one main developer in Kdenlive, and it's not his
full time job, it's a hobby.
So, unless there is something seriously wrong with the latest released
version of kdenlive, all the development effort goes into the next release.
The latest release will be whatever your package manager installs.
If you want to build from git, you get the absolute latest version, but
also the potential to run into some serious bugs. This does give you the
opportunity to do some bug reports, though. If you are running Arch,
installing from git is easy, I would not know about the other
distributions.

Do you mean that, once a version is released, no bugfixing updates are
published for that version, and the focus is for next one?
If not, what are the currently maintained versions of Kdenlive?
