Whoops, missed that one when we did the conversion! Thanks for the  
catch, applied.

I can provide a couple of tips:

1) Do not downgrade to 1.62; it is quite (!) different. It still works  
well, but you'll wind up rewriting a good deal when you upgrade to OI2

2) The released version (1.99_06) is pretty stable; I run my website on  
it (but that's not heavily trafficked).

3) Whether you use CVS is kind of up to you: if there's anything on the  
road map for 1.99_07 (which is considered 2.0 RC1) you think would be  
useful then it might be a good idea:

http://jira.openinteract.org/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa? 
reset=true&pid=10010&fixfor=10040

Otherwise you should be able to develop with _06 and have to change  
little or nothing when _07 comes out.

2.0 final (after 1.99_07) is currently scheduled for mid-June.  
Hopefully we can keep to that.
