Mike can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the current status of the 
builds is:

3.4 - Very stable, but has a few known bugs (reverse-engineering is broken in 
Entity Modeler, for one). No fixes or new development is being done.
3.5 - Mostly stable, no fixes or new development is being done.
3.6 - Somewhat unstable, but new features and bug fixes are being added. In 
other words, this is where all the cool kids are hanging out (not Chuck). But 
it is a bit risky...

Some great new features in 3.6: 
1) cmd-shift-v to open Entity Modeler and jump directly to an Entity
2) Bundle-less builds (meaning Eclipse no longer has to create and keep in-sync 
a build directory). 
3) Refined wolips.properties file management allowing you to change file 
contents directly in the project properties window.

The first is a great time-saver for when you are making changes to a model or 
just need to reference back a lot. The second should speed up general 
development performance since Eclipse is doing a lot less work. The third makes 
it more obvious where WOLips is looking for installed frameworks like 
WebObjects and Wonder.

In general, unless Mike says otherwise, I try to stay on whichever version he's 
currently using as he's the one that does a majority of the WOLips development 
and if WOLips is broken, it's broken for him and he'll fix it fast (usually).

So far I haven't noticed any show-stopper bugs in 3.6, but I'm just getting 
rolling with it.
