If you want stable just go and download the thing from wordpress.org. Stable is only released ever so often, not something you'd want to put on cron and upgrade every night.

The other prominent function call, explode(), is available from 4+. Safe mode must be set to Off to use shell_exec(). 4) SVN installed on the server in order to use svn command from the shell. (Not too sure about this one, though it seems reasonable. I'm not sure how native the svn command, whether it needs extra software or not, etc.) I’m not sure what the exact server requirements would be, but I can take a guess:

1) Shell access; the command “php wordpress-update-cli.php” would otherwise be unable to run.

2) Crontab; if you wanted to automate the running of the script on a regular basis.

3) php 4.0.1+ or 5+; shell_exec() would otherwise be unavailable. The other prominent function call, explode(), is available from 4+. Safe mode must be set to Off to use shell_exec().

The problem with WordPress is that the installation process is from the 1980's. If your script will work, it's a great starting point.
