+
+Release summary
+===============
+
+statsmodels is using github to store the updated documentation. Two version are available:
+
+- `Stable `_, the latest release
+- `Development `_, the latest build of the main branch
+
+**Warning**
+
+API stability is not guaranteed for new features, although even in
+this case changes will be made in a backwards compatible way if
+possible. The stability of a new feature depends on how much time it
+was already in statsmodels main and how much usage it has already
+seen. If there are specific known problems or limitations, then they
+are mentioned in the docstrings.
