So, can I get this clear? Are you recommending that the current CVS should
be used as against 1.0 release?
 ENDQUOTE

Mainline CVS is always treated as stable. the only practical times when you
should be really worried is when we're testing big merges right before a
large release. So, yes, latest CVS is nearly always 'the last release with
all the bugfixes we have to date' and to be trusted even more than the last
release. We should be making a new bugfix release in the not too distant
future... but releases suck so much energy :-(

In fact, there is *one* change on current CVS I'm slightly leery of, and
it's in playback; I have a static array space that's being shared by two
.dlls as a return from a function call. I can recall the Windows linker
having serious trouble with a related concept in the past (causing an access
violation). I think this one is kosher, but I'm still waiting to hear back
from a Windows tester to say that it's fine. That would be a deterministic
100% all the time crash if it's a problem.
