Which version to use?
Permalink
I have two new websites to get done by the end of March, both C5. I'm still in the design/info gathering stage at this point. With the imminent launching of 5.4, would it be silly to develop with 5.3.3.1? I guess I could, and then upgrade, but I'm thinking that if the RC version of 5.4 is due soon, maybe I should go with that... What do you all think? Although I haven't tried it yet, the new layout feature looks cool and may fit in nicely...
There is nothing wrong with creating these sites on the current release and upgrading later. The core team keeps the upgrade process in mind when releasing new versions, so it should be pretty seamless.
When 5.4 is released, perform an upgrade and you'll have more features and a faster core.
