Good morning,

Gentoo is finally getting around to marking 2.5.1 as stable, but they are asking for confirmation that 2.5.1 
is really considered stable and not development:

    Looks like 'master' branch is still the 2.4.x versions one:  https://git.gnome.org/browse/balsa/log/

    Is 2.5.x considered as stable by upstream? (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
