The announce message was "[Announcement] Amaya 8.6 Snapshot" and 
it's listed as a Snapshot everywhere.
For me it was clear that it could not be considered as a stable version.
Perhaps the confusion is due to its name 8.6.

We plan also to make a pre-release 2 weeks before the 8.7 release.
Do we have to call it 8.6+ or 8.7.pre or what else?
