[jetty-users] Which version to use for new development?

[ccleve <ccleve.tech@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm starting to developing an app that will do much asynchronous passing 
of messages. I'd like to use HttpClient. It seems that Jetty 9 is much 
improved and would be a better choice than Jetty 8.

Here's the rub: the app needs to go into production before the end of 
the year, and Jetty 9 hasn't been released.

Should I use Jetty 9 or Jetty 8? How stable is 9?
