There is no fixed schedule for either releasing 3.3.0, nor for moving
the Tensor code from unsupported to the main part of Eigen (the latter
will certainly not happen before the first ...)

I haven't used the Tensor myself, so I can't say much about it's 
development state (Benoit Steiner might say something). However, I don't 
really see where you actually need tensors for your code, so maybe you 
should explain first what you actually need.

And as Godeffroy already answered, we can't really give you definitive 
guarantees on Eigen's stability or lack of (serious) bugs -- although we 
do our best, of course.


BTW: Please start a new thread for new questions (don't answer to 
unrelated questions with new topics)
