Hm. Not really. The recommendation is to never put a new release on a
production system before you tested it appropriatly. And nothing
stands against using the recommended tree (say 3.23.x) in this way.
Just don't play around with the development tree, except if that is
what you really want.

The answer to this depends on your usage pattern. If you don't use
feature A, you don't have to care about a bug in its code. The same
with WinNT.
So the general answer is: the current version is 3.23.36 and it is
also the recommended one. The last recommended before that was
3.23.33.

Well, if you can't run it yourself in a test environment, it's the
least should can do.

Well, 3.23.37 is not released yet, so there can hardly be any bug
reports. ;-)
Bye,
