The plugins repo is currently serving up the 2.6.1b1 tag for Jetpack, but saying that it’s 2.6.
When you download the file and open it up, the changelog contained in the readme.txt file matches the 2.6.1b1 tag, not the 2.6 tag, or trunk (which it had glitched to previously a few months back).
Trunk’s current readme does point to 2.6 as the stable tag.
Today, on Thanksgiving, I’m thankful that this is just a minor bugfix point release that slipped out early, and everything that changed in it should be safe and good to have deployed. However, users that upgrade to or install it via their dashboard, or download the zip are still getting told that it’s a beta release, which can certainly scare users.

I’m going to be trying to do whitespace commits to some of the readme.txt files, hoping to glitch it back to being correct again.
