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:
1. migration of SVN directory to SVN servers is in queue for months
now
2. 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
Ooops, my fault. I've forgot about the move from SVN to Git. Is http://github.com/pgRouting/package-pgrouting the right URL for my purpose? And is the current Git version considered more stable then the version in SVN?

Maybe my previous sentence wasn’t clear. There is no move to Git.
The repository there was a test to see if I can keep changes for packaging in Git as I read in some interesting article. I thought it could be convenient, but didn’t work.
The source code there is the same as in SVN, which is the main repository. The only change is made in the Debian folder, which actually shouldn’t be part of the source code (as it is at the moment in SVN).
So in short, the Git repository was made for packaging and could be out of date.
But personally I think there would be some advantage using Git, which I wanted to say in my previous mail.
