rolling releases = endless minor niggles. You will never upgrade.
Old way = major niggles stay for years.
That is so true, and I realise that. It's just that I am a big user of the PRV and I'd rather that calm down first. If there were other fixes and enhancements in this release I would install right now.
I recommend installing the update...any "minor niggles" are IMHO teeny compared to the benefits the new PRV brings. You can always roll back if you want.
Whenever there's an update, there are typically three main issues:
- Some kind of minor bug that early access and the beta didn't catch
- People noticing things they hadn't noticed before that don't relate to the update
- Something gets changed (e.g., a preference) that needs to be restored
The first one is the only one that may require a rollback, but even then, there has been only one update (I think it was November) where the update seemed sketchy enough that I waited for the next one. Every other time I just went and updated, and have never had to rollback. In my experience, the benefits of updates outweigh any drawbacks; the only time I get "snagged" was when the Read Cache preference was changed to off (don't know for
sure it was the update, though) and I started getting dropouts on playback. I checked it and all was well again.
