Mixxx doesn't follow a stable/unstable release process. All mixxx releases are considered stable and we recommend users always upgrade to the latest version. Any release may introduce new bugs, but many more are also fixed. We do offer point releases for a limited amount of time to address critical bugs, but most bugfixes are only committed to master.

The biggest change in 2.2 is linking against QT5 by default instead of QT4. Mixxx has been working on the migration from QT4 to QT5 for a while, and as of version 2.1.x, the QT5 build was not ready, so all of our binaries shipped linked against QT4. Any public release of 2.1 linked against QT5 is a mistake and will result in a bad user experience.
