The 4.X branch is the stable one, Steve. Anything in 5.X before 5.2.1 is 
not recommended for a working application server, and even that takes 
some learning and pushing and shoving to get right. My experience, 
however, is that it WILL be a huge leap forward.

Actually, IMHO, 4.8 is the best version in the -STABLE branch to start 
from, then CVSup to the latest mods in -STABLE. 4.9 has some config 
changes that are likely to be a surprise.

Of course, dummy me, I gave away all my 4.8 CDs...
