Maybe because those who are using 5.5.3 successfully don't post; you
only hear about problems. I haven't had any trouble with it. There
are, however, a good many new features and a few changes to old
behaviors that may be interpreted as "bugs" if the developer isn't
aware of them.
I'm not saying it's perfect, because I'm sure there certainly must be
bugs in there. But I haven't found any showstoppers for what I'm doing
and I don't think one person's experience should color everyone else's
plans. I've been using 5.5.3 since it became available and I'm just
finishing up a project that couldn't have been done in an earlier
version.
Your DevaWriter would probably be more flexible and easier to script
with the new unicode features.
You are probably right; but at about half a million lines of code across
something like 500-odd objects I really cannot see myself
recoding the whole thing. At present everything works very well indeed.
I am glad to hear that people are working well with the latest version.
However, I will stand by my feeling that things have either "spread too
thin" or "diversified too fast" and that some of
the effects of that may be showing.
I wonder if those are what Horst thinks are bugs; the scripting has
changed considerably and older methods no longer work.
