Media gallery is in BETA
Media Gallery is in BETA status. We don't recommend using it on production sites, unless you're able to tolerate bugs, and you maintain frequent database backups of your site. You can use the dev-version, but do not expect it to be production ready. Do not expect upgrade paths before we reach stable. Please note: The 2.x-dev version of this module requires Media >=2.x-beta1!
