Maintenance Releases

[Richard Kreiss]

How many of you install maintenances releases on systems that are running without issues?

This may seem like an unusual question but I did not realize that there were maintenance releases available when I installed filePro 3.0 or 4.0 or 4.1, I have clients on early releases of 5.0 who are not having any issues although I did have one who system had a big slowdown with an upgrade from 4.8 to 5.0.  I do have a current client who will not install a maintenance release until it has been fully tested on his system as he wants to make sure nothing has "broken" with the new release.  This issue was corrected after I was able to show support that there was an issue with 5.0 *report program. It did take their logging onto my clients system to observe the slowdown in printing a report.

Although I do test each release on my system, I am not able to test in my client's environment.  I need to close any programming issues before they occur especially with a new release of filePro.
