It is great now that we have 0.3 released. Thank you all very much!
A question on future updates.
In the past months, I have been using julia nightlies PPA to get the
most updated builds. Generally, it has been working well for me. The
nightlies have not caused big problems for my applications.
Now the nightlies will be the early builds of 0.4. Is that reasonable
to assume these early builds will be less reliable and so I should
better stay with 0.3 for some time?
