According to the release note for htdig-3.2.0b2. It added more functionality
and fixed all known bugs after 3.1.5
But apparently it still has the relevance ($(PERCENT)) bug and not stable
enough. 
I am asking for any suggestions about which version (3.1.5 or 3.2.0b2)
should be used for our company web site. 
Any experience about the advantage and disadvantage of both the versions?

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

-Edward

According to Edward Lu:

The security hole is in version BEFORE 3.1.5, and is fixed in 3.1.5.  It
allowed a user to snoop through any file on your web server's file system,
as long as it was readable by the user ID under which the web server process
runs, just by passing it a special query string in the htsearch URL.
