I was assigned to set up a web server with mysql for a company and they said they NEED a stable version. Is mysql 5.5.13 stable? I was about to download it from the site when I saw that it was still beta...

How can 5.5.8 be stable but 5.5.13 still be in beta? Is there anyway I can download mysql 5.5.8? Apparently it is stable: http://forums.mysql.com/read.php?3,421981

Looking at the stie, the current generally available release is 5.5.13. When it is labeled as a release, it is considered a release build (what you and your client are most likely calling "stable"). It is certainly stable enough to have been released as a release build.

The interim builds are labeled as such, and should be treated like betas. I am not sure where you drill down to these builds these days.

Short answer: You should be fine downloading and using the version in question.
