Regarding "stable" kvm releases

Regarding "stable" kvm releases

[Asdo]

Hello list

I know qemu-kvm versions from sourceforge are the "stable" kvm releases.

So I went there hoping to find a version maintainance policy like that
of the linux kernel, that is, the last number in the release version is
the patch level.

Usually in linux I go hunting for the last kernel version which ends
with a .3 or higher, for production use, e.g. as of today I wouldn't
choose 2.6.37(.0) beacause .0 is not enough stable for a production
server imho, I would choose 2.6.36.3

I was trying to do the same with KVM but when I saw the changelogs I
realized that the stable kvm releases are not really stable in this sense.
E.g. in the 0.12.4 there are a helluva lot of changes which are feature
improvements (hence adding potential bugs), or so seems to me:
http://garr.dl.sourceforge.net/project/kvm/qemu-kvm/0.12.4/changelog

Am I correct? So there is no "maintenance line" in KVM where, after a
release with new features, you only add bugfixes for later point-versions?

So our likelihood of getting regression bugs is basically the same for
every qemu-kvm version; so we should just choose the latest qemu-kvm,
i.e. right now we should choose 0.13.0 instead of 0.12.5 ?

Thank you
