We usually need a bit longer to get a release out. Sorry. I would take the EOS patch and apply it to the 1.5.2 version. After you did that you should train and evaluate the Sentence Detector to ensure it is working ok.
You can also take the trunk version, which is usually stable and in a good condition. Before you ship it, I would train and evaluate all the components you use, then it is very unlikely that you will hit a big bug afterwards. The best way to figure out how to help is to have a look at jira. There are open issues for almost any component. Is there an area where you would like to work on? We are also always looking for format support for a new corpus, e.g in the bio or medical domain.
