I know this is an oxymoron, but is the development branch at all stable at this point? I really need 1.3 functionality for my app. Anyone running the latest code or have any concerns about it?
Thanks,

It seems stable for me, but I only run tests against it. Be advised the code base will change as time goes by... but I think you shoudl be able to upgrade when the need arises.

Great, that's exactly what I needed to know. Thank you.

The database schema (even for the dba backend) are completely different between the 1.2.x branch and 1.3.1.
So you can not just replace the PHP code and have your old wiki-data intact. The proper upgrade path is to:
1. Make a zip-dump (or "serialized page" dump if you have a very old wiki) of your current wiki.
2. Start the new wiki with a virgin database.
3. Finally, restore the wiki contents from your zip-dump.

so does this mean that it's possible to upgrade without "losing" the wiki? [StupidQuestion]

I must say moving from 1.2 to 1.3 went very smoothly!
