The RPM installs follow the regular release by up to a month.

Additionally there were several bug found in 5.5.0 that is pushing the RPM release until after 5.5.1 for stability.

Thanks for the confirmation. So it will be better to hold the upgrade till the stable version release.

Yes, 5.5.1 should be out in the next several days with the RPM version to follow once a stability period has passed.

Because many RPM installs are on systems that cannot have compilers on them, we cannot offer hot fixes if someone runs into trouble, which is why we are very cautious release.
