Subject: Re: musl 1.0.x branch
Hi Rich,
in my case I'll try to stick to the latest version labeled "stable".
The website currently still doesn't call 1.1.2 stable, so I simply
haven't upgraded to it yet.
* Latest release is 1.1.2.
* Current stable maintenance release is 1.0.3.
I think many others will share thus view, because it's best to rely on
the developer for that information, i.e. whether some code is deemed
stable or not.
Best regards,
// Oliver
