  <p>Current recommended version is 0.3</p>
  <p>
   The current release is 0.3.
   <em>This version is not intended for production use</em>.
   <em>However, it is recommended that interested parties download and experiment
   with it and inform the project of the party's experience so that qualified
   progress can occur</em>.
   It is not as far from stable as version "0.3" may incline one to think.
   It will be labeled 0.x until API stability and feature completion is reached.
