The core is quite stable (imo), only tests and file uploads with apace 
are actually broken.

Right now i wouldn't suggest usage for a "critical" app.
But that may change until next week.

The biggest difference is the new action syntax, from

     MyApp->action( 'foo' => sub {} );

to

     sub foo : Global {}

and stuff like that, people who already ported told me that it's no big 
deal.

Well, the release was planned for tomorrow.

But actually we are waiting for Christian Hansen, his mail address 
is.... :P
He promised to finish a new test suite with a few hundred tests, so 
it's worth waiting.
