Yes 858 is now ancient.  I think it doesn't even do routing with OSM input
files.

I think most of the so-called experimental things have to be turned on
with an option.

I've always tried to keep the main trunk as stable as possible and
the so called stable release is just one that is not too soon
after some major new thing has gone in.

The Computerteddy maps are usually made with pretty much the latest
version, so if there are basic problems they get noticed pretty quickly.

I think we should set the new version to 1067 which is before some recent
changes went in.  If there is a major problem, I will fix it and update.
