Aloha 6.xx

[posknowitall]

I am a lover of Aloha 5.2x. I have many customers on 5.3x and have seen small very fixable issues. I now have customers wanting to go to 6.x. Any suggestions, warnings, or advice on using the later version of Aloha? I am probably being overly cautious, or am I??

There are alot of improvements in version 6.0 and up. I would personally skip 6.0 (Buggy) and go straight to 6.1 or higher. I'm personally waiting for 6.3 to become mainstream because it seems to have the most "useful" improvements. We have been holding off upgrading customers from 5.3 to 6.0, but will start doing so soon as they seem to have ironed out alot of the earlier problems. In case anyone is interested here are some of the changes I've noticed in 6.3 so far.
