On this list, it is always recommended to use git head, and no
particular reason seen not to do so. IIUC, releases are for
distributions which wish to maintain a stable API (or something like
that, don't quote me on it).
That said, if you really want a new major release: releases are being
made, and in your particular case, the tags in git hint that a 2.2
release is soon to come, here's a recent release candidate:
