You could at least consider a 'stable build'. There are quite of lot of bugfixes/small improvements (mainly in editwizards). An 'unstable' build (from CVS HEAD) is an option too, because it includes some major improvements and bug-fixes which are not available in stable builds. But well, there is a certain risc, because well, it is unstable. Unstable for two reasons: 1. An unstable build might simply not work. You should test your site any way, so that is simple to find out. 2. New features might be unstable in the sense that they will be changed before the actual release. You should be prepared to fix your site later when using them. New features may also not yet be documented properly. The current nighly builds from 1.7 are pretty good I think, and I dare to develop web-sites on it, also because I'm actually developing 1.7, so I need a test-ground. Being a developer I can also judge fairly well what is likely to be changed before the release. A newby I would advice to use 1.6, because it's behaviour is certainly more well defined. In http://www.mmbase.org/bug you could get an impression on what is fixed only in 1.7. I would also advice to /join #mmbase on slashnet, if you're considering using 1.7 because you feel that you stumble into limitations of 1.6. greetings, Michiel -- Michiel Meeuwissen Mediapark C101 Hilversum +31 (0)35 6772979 nl_NL, eo, en_US mihxil' []()
