It depends on your needs, and/or of how much of TB you "explore", I would dare to say, since there are some who are explicitly very pleased with v3, but there are other ones who rather would love to wait a bit, or a bit more, until situation is more "clear". For myself, which means that the World (and perhaps wider) is not obliged to abide to this, it will be when I remove the word "unleashing" from my signature. (-; Yet, the number "3.0.1.33" somehow tells me that much of water and lava will have to stream away until it gets to some "3.1.00", or so. 187 days is about 6 months, and I recon I'd wait patiently yet those 3 ones, for not to push the Nature too much, or I could get something I wouldn't want to. I am not sure that anyone could "generalize" and deliver a "full list" of "known issues", but I suppose that individual reports could help, in a measure, and you already got few of them. That's my contribution: if you use some "more complicated" or "unusual" filtering rules -- be careful. I myself am waiting to see "what will happen" before I decide to buy a copy of a v3 using *my* name. The main reason of mine was "encryption on the fly", and I was already prepared to buy a "Secure Bat" but they entombed this form of the popular mammal, just in the moment when I pulled my wallet. Pity, since I do not need any additional features, as "hardware tokens" etcetera. Just a possibility to keep my mail in an encrypted form, while still using all the resources of a "standard" TB. Those were my experiences many weeks, and moons, ago, and I admit that I lost my patience after trying several first copies of v3. Those days I again had in mind to try a newer one...but it seems that my patience is not enough chubby yet. I hope that this thread you spun now will get more constructive answers, so that I myself could tap some benefits of them too. So far, no news with "I am quite pleased with", "It works smoothly" and similar. (: Such ones were present even 6 months ago. (Will be that downloading a new copy and playing with it, *safely*, like in "save hex" (:, is a most appropriate way to get the precise answers.) Take care and wear a smile, because it's more beautiful, and possibly less painful, this way.
