We have tagged CVS with the tag ELEPHANT-0-6-1-BETA. OpenMCL still needs verification, but has been verified in the past so I don't think it's much work and the current tree seems very stable and addresses all the outstanding issues we documented and discovered for 0.6.1.
This would be a good time to do a trial upgrade of your existing databases and try to incorporate this release in running systems. There may still be bugs, but we don't anticipate any major changes. From this point it is mostly documentation and augmenting the test suite where we can and with any luck there will be a release candidate in a week or two.
