Initially it started off that way, but in real life every version is
both development and a little bit more stable than the previous one.
There are some releases where development resulted in reduced stability,
such as the 5.3.8 release which still has some unresolved issues.

But I have still been able to crash both clients and servers in every
release ever since I started to work on Coda. It just seems to be
getting a bit more difficult to crash now than before. Two years ago, it
was impossible to untar the Coda source tree into /coda, now this has
become reasonably reliable. But maybe that is only becaused the size of
the Coda tarball has been slowly shrinking ;)

It is impossibly to say how stable Coda is, people are very flexible and
learn to avoid doing things that hurt them. Any new user seems to always
find at least 2 or 3 serious problems.
