running 1.4 & 1.5

[sauljhl]

Is there any reason(s)...
Why I might want to keep the latest 1.4x builds, running alongside the newest 1.5 builds?
I'm interested in any & all, estoric/edge use-cases.

Thank you!

Everything 1.5 is still in development.

Feel free to remove Everything 1.4 if you find Everything 1.5 stable.

Hi,

You can also find out more yourself:
Everything 1.5 Alpha
- What's New
- Improvements

... or find further opinions on this topic in the forum:
- 1.4 versus 1.5 ?
- Everything 1.4 or 1.5 Alpha for Win 11 Pro?

I count myself among those who have used almost every new 1.5a version so far without any significant problems.
If there was ever a problem, it was solved by the author within a very short time(!).

I said goodbye to version 1.4 back then, i.e., years ago.

Ideally folks who still use both, for xyz reason(s);
But experiences/thoughts of those who use 1, is still useful for this thread.
