Hi Doug,

as maintainers, we try and test each version, and fix the issues we find
until delivery. So, from our point of view, they are all equally stable,
and it is difficult to answer your question. One detail however: you
will not be able to run Xenomai 2.6.3 on Linux 3.14, you will need the
upcoming Xenomai 2.6.4 for that. Xenomai 2.6.4 is expected to be
delivered in the next few weeks.

Regards.
