I'm currently still using 0.6.9 as there are one or two things I need to do 
before moving. I am looking forward to some
of the improvements in 0.7 but some of the things discussed on the IRC channel 
make me wonder what features I may run in
to that have broken in 0.7 that were working in 0.6.9. Most of the breakage 
seems to be in git master and those things
are getting fixed. Moving to 0.7 should be safe as long as I stick to the 
released source packages of 0.7 and stay away
from git master.

Git master actually seems pretty good at the moment. I believe that the major thing we're waiting on before branching for release candidates are fixes for parcel prim counts.

OpenSim 0.7.1 will be considerable performance improvement on 0.6.9. However, I recommend setting a fair amount of time for any migration, since a large amount of configuration has changed. Also be aware that the MySQL DLL in git master is known to break during some migrations - so it's still worth waiting for the release candidates where this problem will be resolved.


Indeed, I find myself not sure if it's worth reporting bugs I find in 0.6.9

It's probably not worth reporting 0.6.9 bugs. AFAIK, all the main OS developers 
are on 0.7 and would have little to no
interest in any more changes for 0.6.9 code. The best you could do would be to 
find out if a bug was fixed in 0.7 and
whether you can cherry pick the 0.7 fix in to the 0.6.9 branch of code.

This is certainly true for me. My current base of operations is 'near master' code (though not master itself, I'm not that crazy!).
