Check out "http://www.crynwr.com/kchanges" for a summary of changes 
between kernels.

Kernels with an even number as the second number are stable production 
kernels.  ie 1.0.x, 1.2.x and presumably 1.4.x

Kernels with an odd number as the second number are experimental kernels 
only.  ie 0.9.x, 1.3.x

Hope this helps
