(in general, even numbers are for development versions in "gnome" stuff) Does git need some poking, and can I tell them it is sufficiently stable?Can anyone answer this?
There's not much currently going on in either master or the gtk3 branch, which I guess means that 2.5.1 in gtk3 is quite stable. It still fails to build in a git tree, because the address book editor still uses deprecated API, but that wouldn't get in the way of a tarball build. BTW: Balsa doesn't subscribe to the odd/even convention, as far as I know, so the numbering is no reason to view 2.5.1 as unstable. HTH! Peter
