Translation: While stable milestones have been completed, you might do well to look at the versions that are in a release like SLES11-hae -- 

libpacemaker3-1.0.3-4.1
pacemaker-1.0.3-4.1
openais-0.80.3-26.1
libopenais2-0.80.3-26.1
libheartbeat2-2.99.3-14.1
heartbeat-common-2.99.3-14.1
heartbeat-resources-2.99.3-14.1

-- and replicate those versions. Right now, the development work on openais, heartbeat, pacemaker, and corosync may be too fast to keep up with unless you're intimately involved in the development and alpha-testing process, which is and will not be suitable for production use. 

Welcome to open-source. ;)  In my past experience, things usually settle down once the fall rolls around because the students and professors go back to school.
