Anton is right, that the SVN version is the one that usually works well and it’s also the one that is part of the OSGeo LiveDVD for example and which I used for Ubuntu packages on Launchpad.
There are actually two reasons, why there is no official new release:
migration of SVN directory to SVN servers is in queue for months now
there was no official release procedure defined, so no steps described how to do a new release
My personal opinion on this:
move to GIt (because I’m not sure this SVN migration will ever happen)
take the current SVN version as a new release without any special testing (it has been tested for months already IMO)
do it more properly for further releases
Anyone else any opinion on this?
