The most stable branch is probably the release33 branch which currently 
contains the code for 3.3.1 release (I think just today there were 
merged changes that contain 3.3.2 fixes)

the QBE branches are created when a Q-build is not approved by our QA. 
The qhole code base is thatn branched and the showstoppers are then 
fixed. the format is QBEYYYYMMDDHHMM (year, month,day...) the same 
format goes for the tags. each daily build is tagged with the BLD tag.. 
that way everyone can recreate the any particular build.

BTW what are these "instabilities?"
