from relinq.codeplex.com:
Releases are available for download from CodePlex. Weekly builds are available in source code and binary form at http://www.re-motion.org/builds. Note that due to the goodness of TDD, weekly builds are generally considered stable and we do often use those in production. However, if you need a bug fix you will have to upgrade to a newer version. Hotfixes are only produced for release versions (even/odd scheme: release versions have even minor version numbers, such as the upcoming 1.14.0, and hotfixes will be numbered 1.14.1, 1.14.2 etc.). It's all in the unit tests. We're not doing any additional testing for releases, they just differ in the versioning scheme and support strategy. So in theory, with a weekly you could run into a situation where you'd need a hotfix, but find you have to upgrade to the newest weekly, with tons of breaking changes. But that's really just theory. The re-linq front-end is very stable right now, we're just adding tiny bug fixes or features as they are requested.

Is every single build a valid release? If not, how are external users to know which code is stable and ready for external consumption? Patrick Earl
