The newest, bleeding edge features would be 

+ the execute signature and declarative exceptions
+ role based security 
+ multiple-configuration support
+ dynabeans

These were added in January. The other features in the nightly build
(mostly tag enchancements) have been in circulation much longer, and can
be considered stable. (And, really should have been released in like Nov
or Dec, but that was a busy time for all of us.)

My very best advice would be to use a build from early January, until
the latest wave of features settle in. I tucked away a binary from 12
Jan that I've been using myself. This will work with the releases of
Tiles and Validator that came about on or before that date.

This will get you over the Commons dependencies hump, and put you in a
good position to move over to the final release of 1.1, whenever that is
ready.
