hey all
we are using an older version of 6.x-1.x-dev, from Nov 30 2008 (most recent files are actually datestamped Nov 29). many custom modifications have had to be made, to suit our application, and i am well aware that i will have to integrate these manually when i upgrade. that's ok, i know how to do that, and that's not the problem.
my question: how stable is 6.x-1.x-dev from Apr 8 2009? if i want to upgrade, should i be using this? or is it better to upgrade to 6.x-1.0 from Jan 3 2009?
we are not upgrading "just for fun", or for any specific new features... instead it's in attempt to solve the bug reported in this thread: http://drupal.org/node/591712 which is really the ONLY issue we are having with this code, it's stable otherwise.
cheers,

To be honest, neither of the current maintainers have had much time for this module in about a year (we're too busy paying the bills, I suspect). I don't know why you could be experiencing that other bug (I commented there), but I don't know of a specific fix that would address it (other than, perhaps, the UID>65000 issue).
There haven't been too many changes in the 6.x-1.x branch - you can use the cvs browser to see in the 6.x-1.x branch, and perhaps apply these as a patch to your system.

update on this issue: please see http://drupal.org/node/591712#comment-2254666
my conclusion at this point: LM Paypal IS stable, and worth using!

ps: maybe try the 6.x-2.x version if you are starting from scratch... we are still using 6.x-1.x, there were so many customizations made it would be a bit of a task for us to switch to the 2.x, though maybe one day we will anyhow.
