As someone who has a project in active development (and is an avid Twitter user), I found this post at 4:15 AM purely because I follow your feed.
I’m sure you’re already seeing the benefits of Twitter via your referral logs, but I’m just here to make a more active affirmation.
That said, very much looking forward to being able to take my ad network experience and apply those same reporting / control metrics to my own, personally funded properties.
Cheers.

Hi
do you have an ETA for the stable version of 2.5 ?
Just to plan to start in 30 - 45 days with 2.5, or plan to use 2.4 and upgrade later..

Hi Ruggiero
There are no hard deadlines for the first stable release of the 2.5 code base. We take the view that it’s ready when all critical bugs are resolved and it’s had enough testing. Setting launch dates would only leads to disappointment.
The latest beta is proving very stable and many people are using the 2.5 beta in production. You will need to make your own judgement call about whether you are willing to run beta software or stick to the latest stable release.
Not the answer you wanted but I hope that helps!
kind regards,
Oliver George

Thanks
well an importan element to choice between this is if the upgrade from 2.4 to 2.5 will be simplified (by script ( web interfaces? ) and if this has DB changes in a distributed setup environment.
We do not want to miss the single ads call feature in 2.5 since could have interesting benefit in a high traffic env
