Hmmm ... my choise was based on the latest texlive.tlpdb.xz I had found
after TeXLive 2016 had been release and this shows

  name biber
  [...]
  catalogue-date 2016-03-07 05:26:16 +0100
  catalogue-license artistic
  catalogue-topics biblio
  catalogue-version 2.4

MHO it would help a lot if all data bases are in sync and also there
would be a copy of the archive around which fits exactly the state of
the final TeXLive release ;)

Beside this with version 2.5 I see one failing test

  [ 1135s] t/full-bbl.t ........... ok
  [ 1136s] 
  [ 1136s] #   Failed test 'Full test has zero exit status'
  [ 1136s] #   at t/full-bblxml.t line 35.
  [ 1136s] #          got: '2'
  [ 1136s] #     expected: '0'
  [ 1136s] 
  [ 1136s] #   Failed test 'Testing bblxml output'
  [ 1136s] #   at t/full-bblxml.t line 39.
  [ 1136s] # Looks like you failed 2 tests of 2.
  [ 1136s] t/full-bblxml.t ........ 
  [ 1136s] Dubious, test returned 2 (wstat 512, 0x200)
  [ 1136s] Failed 2/2 subtests 
  [ 1136s] t/full-bibtex.t ........ ok
