Hi,

When will 3.6 be considered stable? I'm waiting to deploy a cluster into
a production environment. I've built a 3.6.2 cluster and have put a live
copy of the data onto it, which took rsync a solid 2 weeks to do. I
don't really want to go through that again if I can help it.

Cheers,
Kingsley.

We thought it was - including getting tested by a some places fairly
intensively before - until bugs started showing up when people deployed
it to production.

We're actively working on a 3.6.3 release, fixing the reported bugs,
and should have a beta out in the near-ish future.  (3.6.3beta1 came
out on 11th Feb, we're still working on a few more patches)

And yeah, not great. :/

Regards and best wishes,
