Caution. I (and any, more significant, others) still use 5.005_03 in
live sites. My own development servers use 5.7. There have been a
few problems reported with 5.6 and I have seen one or two myself.
Although the problems which I saw were largely the result of slightly
dubious coding practices and were easily fixed, some people had more
serious problems and it's why I moved to 5.7 for development.
I've no personal experience of 5.6.1 and although I have had no
problems at all with 5.7 there's a health warning on the packet...
