3 This version of Koha is the 3rd in the 2.0 "stable" series.
4 It does not mean that it has no bugs, but many libraries are using it and don't encounter unsolvable problems.
5 If you want to adopt Koha, please do, but you're warned that this release candidate version may still have some bugs and missing features.
6 If you test it and let us know about any we haven't seen yet, it will help us to fix them.
8 The 2.0.x series version is "feature freezed". Only bugs or minor changes will be made in this branch.
9 The koha team is already working on the 2.2.x version. In CVS (HEAD branch), developers can already get 1st draft of a working z3950 server.
