Views on Ext 2 stability

[HalloweenJack2]

Hi folks,

We currently run 2015 SP1.  

I've had a few issues with projects corrupting. 

I was advised not to update to the previous version as it was a bit unstable.

I'm wondering how people are finding Ext 2.

Do you think it's wise to update at this time?

Cheers

love extension 2

Do you love it in a 'Wow it's sooo much more stable than previous 2015 versions, I can hardly believe it!' kind of way?

Yes
Better tools
Interface improvements
Optimization
2016 is going to be interesting...

YMMV

Good to hear 🙂

Now I've just got to convince our engineers it's a good idea 

Thx

Yes as in - finally I can probably sit and use this with clients rather than sit here looking like an idiot kind if way.
I got more done the last 3 data in flame than the previous month and haven't had my GUI switch off once.

Thanks all,

I've suggested an update but sounds like there's a few months of red tape to cut through... various commitees have to risk assess the situation etc... etc... etc....

nobody takes risks anymore 😞

maybe next year 😞

Risk assessment sounds suspiciously like very other euphemism for no.

For us Ext2 is still crashy.  Not as crashy as Ext1.   It's definately not worse.   Nothing has corrupted which was a HUGE issue with the first iteration of 2015.

The planar tracker.... which is about 6 years late to the party.... is a very welcome additon.
