Right now, if stability is your primary driver (and it sounds like it is) then I would recommend 1.8.7-wc1. The early feedback from 2.1 is very encouraging, but I think that we need a little more production feedback before we could confidently assert that 2.1.x is the default option. > >> Is there some more information public?
