Which release/revision of ofbiz would you recommend

[gcameo]

I am starting a new project and would want to know which version of ofbiz i should checkout. Since ofbiz is community based, a lot of people make contributions and I hope to make some as well, but their changes may be break somethings while they themselves may not be aware as someone just found out with the Geolocation issue.

however the latest stable release is a bit old and a lot of things have been changed and/or removed which means upgrading may be an issue.
So I would want to know if its alrite to still use the current trunk head or if someone has particular revision of the current trunk which they consider relatively stable so i could go for it.

Thanx

This page is a good place to start, and has information that directly  
addresses this question:

http://docs.ofbiz.org/display/OFBADMIN/Apache+OFBiz+Getting+Started

On a somewhat subjective note... all of the best OFBiz service  
providers work straight from the trunk and value community  
participation highly (and generally have clients that value this  
highly, though not always of course).
