I’m not sure if “production version/release” is a term formally defined
for Tor releases, but 0.3.0.1 was at least not a “stable” release: the
announcement of Tor 0.3.0.6 [1] declares it “the first stable release of
the Tor 0.3.0 series”. And indeed, on the consensus health page [2], I
can see that several directory authorities don’t recommend any Tor
versions between 0.2.9.* and 0.3.0.7 (0.3.0.6 had a “medium-severity
security bug” [3], I assume that’s why it’s not recommended either).

Cheers,
Lucas
