There's an old saying, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Why _might_ 5.6.x or 5.7.x be "better for you"? Sure there might be some features you might want, might be some performance improvements that you might notice, etc. And there might be some regressions that will bite you. Fortunately, regressions are rare.
You should probably upgrade to 5.6 soon, simply to avoid having to do a double upgrade when you eventually go to 5.7. > -----Original Message----- > From: h...@tbbs.net [mailto:h...@tbbs.net] > Sent: Thursday, October 24, 2013 7:01 AM > To: mysql@lists.mysql.com > Subject: Re: MySQL Community Server 5.7.2 has been released (part 1) > > MySQL fans, > > >>>> 2013/09/21 18:04 +0200, Bjorn Munch >>>> > MySQL Server 5.7.2 (Milestone Release) is a new version of the world's > most popular open source database.
