1) How to build it
------------------
-First, please note that this version is a development version, so in general if
-you are not used to build from sources or if you don't have the time to track
-very frequent updates, it is recommended that instead you switch to the stable
-version (1.5) or follow the packaged updates provided by your software vendor
-or Linux distribution. Most of them are taking this task seriously and are
-doing a good job. If for any reason you'd prefer a different version than the
-one packaged for your system, or to get some commercial support, other choices
-are available at :
+This version is a stable version, which means that it belongs to a branch which
+will get some fixes for bugs as they are discovered. Versions which include the
+suffix "-dev" are development versions and should be avoided in production. If
+you are not used to build from sources or if you are not used to follow updates
+then it is recommended that instead you use the packages provided by your
+software vendor or Linux distribution. Most of them are taking this task
+seriously and are doing a good job at backporting important fixes. If for any
+reason you'd prefer a different version than the one packaged for your system,
