8.103 or 8.20X

Since I see a lot of questions and dilemmas about the new version (8201), which obviously has a lot of problems, I suggest that everyone read this answer, because I believe that it is short, clear and honest.

I believe that Astaro Team works 24 hours a day to fix the problem.

I first installed the new version at all locations. Yesterday I got back to 8103.

Such is life. It will be better ... :-)

When an up2date package is available to install (downloaded), in WebAdmin>>Management>>Up2Date>>Overview Tab, you can click on the blue button next to the up2date package listing to see what is in it. From that you can decide if you want it or not.

@ Michael_A, It is generally considered a good practice to run a version or two behind the latest and greatest, that way most of the bugs are sorted out before you put it in production.

It is usually safe to upgrade to the next version on the same branch, so if you were on 8.1, 8.101,8102 etc would be safe and usually fix bugs in that particular branch. However when you move to the next branch like 8.2, you may experience newer bugs. Therefore always look for posts by William[:D] or Bruce or one of the moderators and more than likely they will have something good or bad to say about the current release before taking the plunge.

Atleast most of your bugs were smtp related, 8.2x has been hard on some folks[;)]
