Yes, it will be. Jef has done a great job keeping 0.2 rock solid stable throughout its life, I have no doubt that he'll do the same for 0.3.

Now we did not USE 0.2 during the 3.0 development cycle so we were exposed to the changes that happened in master before 0.3 got released, but that's more an issue of Jef's approach to version numbering.

He jumps to the new version in master right after he releases the previous one. So master already claims to be 0.4.0 - I don't love this approach, but that's what he has chosen. As long as you stick with the 0.3 branch you'll be fine.

That is what we needed to do for 1.1 and 1.2. I don't think that's necessary anymore.
