Released on June 14th, 2015.
This is a beta version.
"beta" means there may be a few bugs, but globally it works. For what it's worth, some of us are running this in production on several sites.
Also available on GitHub.

Yes, it’s the one on GitHub ;)
As you can tell by the name, we still call it beta. We will only make it stable once we have spend a whole week testing it without finding any critical bug.
We are currently deploying this version to several sites for real life testing.
Is this the version now sitting on GitHub, or do we need to wait a little longer? More importantly, will this be the stable release of 6.4.x? :-)
