Hi Ora, In terms of "stability" I'd say that all the releases are equal. The later releases have both more bug fixes and more features.
Some issues (eg lack of completeness of the new feature) have been reported with the new features introduced in 2.3.0, but no stability bugs that I know of. And 2.3.0 does fix some important bugs, in particular label wrapping on FireFox/Mac. 2.3.1 is simply a change in the location of the supporting Ajax library that is loaded by default. Yes, if a number of new features are added then the sw gets a new "y" number where releases are numbered x.y.z The x number is changed for really major changes. It is also changed if the public api changes, as was the case from 1.0 to the 2.0 series. The z number is changed for minor bug fix types of releases. The other important issue to remember is that bug reports are only of interest if the problem exists for the latest release or for the trunk version (current development version).
