    • Confused about 1.7 and 1.8

    Posted by joelg posts: 104 France

    I'm confused about which version to install (after months and months of mucking about I'm finally about to get my real live site up and running!!).

    Normally, I would want to install the latest release that is not CVS and therefore considered reasonably stable and bug-free (as much as software ever is bug-free) - the theory is that I can stave off having to upgrade to the next release for as long as possible...

    However, it seems that Tiki has got two development tracks going and live: 1.7 and 1.8, and I am confused which one to use. I would welcome some advice.

    Hi

    Compare it to Debian:

    Stable 1.7 branch or Debians Woody - Robust, but old, releases are now few unless major problems are found.

    Testing 1.8 branch or Debians Sarge - Good, fairly stable, but just not ready yet to take the spot of 1.7, borrows things from 1.9, and 1.9 borrows things from 1.8

    Development 1.9 branch or Debians SID - If you install this on a production site, your either insane or Dennis G Daniels wink Be prepared to do some debugging, and fixing up.


    My recommendation: 1.8 which has now become my own preferred choice and runs all my tiki sites except .parkersworld.org ones (Thats a multi-tiki based on 1.9)
