From the ChangeLog:

2007-01-09: lftp-3.5.9 released. Fixed a potential security vulnerability in
mirror --script.
 2006-12-28: lftp-3.5.8 released. Fixed sleep command.
 2006-12-08: lftp-3.5.7 released. Fixed a spurious timeout when uploading a
file.
[...]

Therefore it might be a good idea to directly mark the new version stable.

Version 3.5.9 - 2007-01-09

* fixed `mirror --script' which generated improperly quoted shell commands
(potential security vulnerability, when someone executes the resulting script).

I'm not considering this a real security vulerability. The announce would
probably look like "If a user runs a lftp mirror scripted by someone else they
could arbitarliy execute code". Feel free to disagree.

Otherwise - stable in 30 days.
