Another remark concerning the comments on the http://www.euphoria.blogdns.com page.

None of the svn stuff is assumed to be stable, so some revisions are more stable than other. Some revisions do have bugs, but they didn't show up in the context the committer made tests in. Or not on the same platform.

Also, when a change requires extended periods of time - we are not paid 9-to-5 for this -, there may be intermediate commits that are known to be unstable. Normally this is reported in the log messages. If you remain like a week without updating, the next update is going to be painful. And if you update while change is in progress, it is hardly easier to manage. Private versioning would probably remove this issue, but SF doesn't support it, I think. Nifty use of branches may be a partial solution.

So, if you expect something to be (100-epsilon)% reliable, then wait for official releases. If you don't, there are risks with it, and those risks should be assumed.
