+* Versions

+*mu* attempts to balance development speed and stability. For this, every few
+months there is a stable version (e.g. ~1.12.12~); development then continues in
+in ~master~, with ~~-dev~ (e.g. ~1.12.13-dev~): ~-dev~-suffixed versions refer to the
+current _development_ code, until it is released (and then looses its ~-dev~ suffix,
+i.e., become the ~1.12.13~ release).
+
+So if you want stability, grab the [[https://github.com/djcb/mu/releases/][release]]; if you are more
+adventurous/impatient, git ~master~ is there as well.
