It is no longer correct. 'maint' is the current release version (2.6.2 or 2.6.3?) and 'master' is the current beta, while 'next' is the current alpha. However, as strange as it may sound, the beta is far more stable than the current release version. This is because it has a much better design under the hood, takes advantage of Boost to make C++ more safe, and has significantly more testing. John
