Next Stable Release

Per Andres prior suggestion we are due for the "next stable release".  I would like us to wrap up adding new features, work out the bugs and release the next stable release.

What is a stable release?

Some of the definitions of what is "unstable" and "untested" seem to me more politically motivated and not actually based on the common definitions of these terms.

The clinical module, currently labeled as “alpha, unstable-testing” has allowed me to generate at least 13,000 progress notes and collect $1.1 million in cash receipts.  I just don’t think it is fair to categorize the clinical portion of what we have as “unstable” or “untested.”

What is "unstable and untested" is the billing code that transfers ICD and CPT codes to the SQL-Ledger.  What I have seen of the FreeB-1.0 - SQL-Ledger interface I would categorize as alpha level code.  The FreeB-2.0 looks better but is still not adequate for me to commit my business to.  I would vote that this is alpha level code.

The clinical module is clearly has been a very stable high level performer in my very busy practice.
