Hi,

Well...when can you tell that the version is stable?

To my opinion, it is only stable when all your tests run successfull, and you are pleased with its stability in your environment.

Even when Active State delivers a full GA 5.8, it still contains bugs, and therefore can cause problems in your environment.

So, I would say, install it on a test server, and configure it to use with your application. When it runs fine, it has a good chance to be OK.
