Hi Mo, Sorry for the late reply. 2.x hasn't made much progress lately and 2.3 has still not been released as there are open issues with it (see JIRA). The trunk and 2.x branch live quite separate lives although there are improvements added to trunk that are not in 2.x. Most active contributors (me included) work on trunk and not on 2.x
2.x is not as robust and feature complete as trunk and is also not as fast but it has some minor benefits over trunk (e.g. resumable fetch or parse steps) Julien On 21 August 2014 14:55, Mohammed Omer <[email protected]> wrote: > Congrats on the release!
