[VM] Latest (mostly) stable version of VM

[blueman]

I have been out of the vm loop for a couple of years. My current version
is 8.1.1 which I imagine is getting long in the tooth.

I see that 8.1.2 is the latest stable release and that there is an 8.2
and 8.3 development branch.

I don't need perfectly bug proof code but on the other hand, I do want
something that will work 99.9% of the time.

So, is the 8.2 branch mostly stable and ready for release or should I
upgrade to 8.1.2 or is 8.1.1 close enough to 8.1.2 that I might as well
sit with what I have?

8.1.2 has important bug fixes and you should definitely install it before
moving to the 8.2.x branch.

The most bug proof code is typically the development version. But all the
alpha/beta releases are more or less stable. If they aren't stable, I would
have withdrawn them and replaced them by stable versions.

However, going by your past your experience, I would expect that you would
likely have some adjustment issues with the new releases.
