Re: Development or stable version?

[Kieren MacMillan]

Hi David,

Welcome to the bleeding edge!  =)

As someone who only uses the “latest” development version(s), and that for 
mission-critical daily composition and engraving (i.e., my career), I can say 
that the latest “unstable” version is almost always good to go.

That being said, I do recommend keeping your most recent “stable unstable” 
version around at all times, in case you run into a show-stopper bug. A couple 
of times in the past five years or so, I had to stay with a version 1 or 2 
behind the absolute latest, in order to get my scores out the door. Right now, 
for example, I have .26 (which, so far, I’m using without issue) and .25 on 
hand.

Cheers,
Kieren.
