vincent1 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Hi all, I have ordered the upgrade service and was wondering if I should ask to be upgraded only to latest 5.3.4 or instead go for 5.2.x if it's more stable? I notice the WHMCS homepage still advertises v5.2 - is that a hint? Your experienced opinions would be appreciated. Many thanks, - Vincent 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian! Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 doesn't v5.2 reach end of life at the end of March and won't be updated from that point (regardless of any faults found) - personally, i'd go straight to v5.3.4 and forget about v5.2 (unless any specific modules/addons you want to use only work on v5.2!). with regards to the site, they'll just be slow updating it... think it mentioned 4.5 when 5.0 was released, 5.0 when 5.1 was released etc.. I wouldn't necessarily take it as a sign of a lack of faith internally in 5.3 that they haven't updated the site! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex - Arvixe Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 +1 to Brain. I'd also opt directly for 5.3 series if you can. The 5.3 series has been heavily tested before launch and fixes so many bugs it is actually quite amazing, bugs that would still exist in the 5.2 series. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincent1 Posted February 19, 2014 Author Share Posted February 19, 2014 Hi Brian, thanks for replying. yeah, v5.2.x will be EOL on March 31, 2014 and also stated as LTS but doesn't say how long My concerns with 5.3.x are that I'm noticing a few 'show stopper' type issues, i.e. domain registrations, cron jobs, invoices etc 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian! Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Hi Vincent, actually, it's been pretty peaceful in here since the 5.3.4 update - there have been whmcs updates previously that haven't gone too well and have caused lots of errors and issues.. there seemed to be an issue with resellerclub that may or may not have been resolved by the hotfix - but if you aren't using them, then I don't think there's an issue.. difficult to comment on the other issues you mention as I think they're one-offs and not mass problems... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincent1 Posted February 19, 2014 Author Share Posted February 19, 2014 yeah, I do use Resellerclub for all domains except .uk currently Do you have a link to what new features in 5.3.x and 5.2.x at all please? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian! Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 aah perhaps mention the resellerclub to whmcs prior to upgrade... or hold off a day to see if there is a continuing issue. the changelog may be your best bet for new features - http://docs.whmcs.com/Changelog:WHMCS_V5.3 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
