To be more precise, "stable" means "it doesn't change". In general, no new major versions, especially not libraries (which would imply a flurry of updates of dependencies). Of course, security updates, bug fixes, etc. still come in. If an upstream library only gets an important (e.g.) security update in a later major version, the maintainer tries hard to backport this fix. The result is a "no surprises" upgrade process whithin a stable release. Cheers -- t
