4.7.0 final or CVS? Hmm...

By TurboChef on 9 May 2006 at 14:06 UTC

I've been playing with 4.7 ever since the first beta, but I got into the habit of downloading the CVS version rather than the previous "snapshot" release. It appears that the 4.7 branch is under continuous development, with bug fixes and improvements added daily.

The issue is this: I'm starting a site from scratch, and from a support standpoint, I don't know if I should use the current CVS version (which seems to me to be 4.7 with lots of small corrections), or stick to 4.7.0 final (which would at least give people a solid idea of which code I'm working with, for support reasons).

What would you recommend?

I would stick to 4.7 and keep it up to date with the 4.7.x releases..

However I'd use some CVS modules if needed and if they are not available for 4.7.x yet

CVS is really about testing bleeding edge new stuff, and it may break at anytime, for 4.7 only changes that improve security and more importantly don't break stuff, are supposed to be added.
