2.1.95 is a test release of the upcoming glibc 2.2.  Use it at your
own risk.  It should be compatible to 2.1.3 and to 2.2 final but we
can't promise this yet.

2.1.3 is the latest released official version of glibc.  If you don't
want to help with testing 2.1.95, I wouldn't advise to use 2.1.95.

But 2.1.95 seems to be quite stable and I don't expect major changes
- but I won't promise anything except that we try to avoid
incompatible changes.
