I've been using it for a few months without issues. Its only dependency (paramiko) is already stable. Fabric 1.3 and higher use dev-python/ssh which is a fork of paramiko and introduce some other important changes. So I think 1.2 is a good candidate for stabilization. Also consider bumping the 1.2 series to 1.2.6, and 1.1 to 1.1.8 (which are maintenance releases). Reproducible: Always
Now that Fabric 1.5.0 is out, 1.4.x would be a good candidate for stable. I've been using 1.4.3 for a while.
What about 1.8.1?
I haven't followed fabric development for a while, but it looks like a good candidate. http://docs.fabfile.org/en/1.8/changelog.html I updated to 1.8.1, I'll report back if I encounter any issues.
Well, this needs all fudge, not sure if it's ok to stabilize then (in general depending in "<" versions is not a good idea for long term :|)
