Downloading this module using drush in the standard way results in getting the 6.x.1 dev release rather than the stable 6.x.0 one.

Shouldn't the default always be a stable release if there is one?

Is it happening because there is no recommended 6 version?

I'm tempted to stick with 6.x.1-dev but how close is it to being production-site ready?

Hello,

A lot of improvements and corrections have been given to 7.x branch but were not backported to 6.x
If you want to get 6.x-0.3 version with Drush you can do it but being specific in your command.
$ drush dl node_limit-6.x-0.3

I am not planning to backport 7.x improvements into 6.x branch and I was not maintainer when the 0.3 release was completed so I do not know if it is really stable. I am just certain that there is no security flaw in here because no core access function had been altered before the 7.x-1.0-alpha4

Regards,

Ok .. and thanks for such a rapid response. But you have recently updated 6.x.1 dev? Will there be a 6.x.1 release?

I'll live without the improvements for 7!

I have commited some tiny fixes from the community so the 6.x-dev branch is as stable as the 6.x-0.3 release.
I do not think it will be a stable 1.0 release for this branch because it would be too different from the 7.x one.
