minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish23•4 days agoI’ve become a fan of staying one version behind for a month or two, unless there’s a security issue that is involved in which case I’ll patch. I like it when someone who isn’t me finds out the catastrophic breaking issues and has to do the cleanup, and I’ll wait for the fixed version. :P
