But don't use that, it's outdated, it has known security/stability bugs which will never be patched. (You seem to think that 3.x is somehow better than 4.x. It's not. Not more stable either. Just more outdated.) > > On Wednesday, July 29, 2015 at 3:54:26 PM UTC+2, Jakob Kummerow wrote: >> >> On Wed, Jul 29, 2015 at 2:50 PM, Wilfried Gösgens <[email protected]> >> wrote: >> >>> Hm, that explains a lot. >>> Its pretty hard to tell what actually _is_ a v8 release and what not. >>> >> >> In an open source world, every commit is a "release".
