While there are some interesting new features in 1.3.5, it still has a number of drawbacks on a practical level, and once you save a file, you can't load it into 1.3.3.12 (there are workarounds).
Do NOT use 1.3.4 -- this was a brief post-1.3.3.x and pre-qt4 version that has had no bug fixes since it was released in May, 2007. Unfortunately, some distros put it in their repositories, and we can't get them to take it out. Greg
