2.8.2 is tested, released, and known-good 2.9 is in development, might sometimes break, and contains under-tested features. As far as I know we don't even have a 2.9 release manager yet, so I would not really describe it as "close to release" Unless you need a feature that is in 2.9 but not 2.8 then I would suggest 2.8. -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1912 _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
