+# Use stable releases in production
+
+Anyone planning to use Tomb to store and access secrets should not use
+the latest development version in Git, but use instead the .tar.gz
+release on https://files.dyne.org/tomb . The stable version will
+always insure backward compatibility with older tombs: we make sure it
+creates sane tombs and keys by running various tests before releasing
+it. The development version in Git might introduce sudden bugs and is
+not granted to produce backward or forward compatible tombs and keys.
+Only developers and testers should use the Git version to report bugs,
+test new features and develop patches.
+
+So be warned: do not use the latest Git version in production
+environments, but use a stable release versioned and packed as
+tarball on https://files.dyne.org/tomb
