Any advantage in upgrading from 4.2.18 to 4.2.20?

Post by Carlos Azevedo »

At the moment due to regressions it isn't worthy upgrading to 4.3.4.
But is there any advantage in upgrading from 4.2.18 to 4.2.20 in a Solaris host?

Thanks in advance.

I would say no unless I'm affected by some issue that has been fixed.
But, for example, are there known regressions?

Thanks in advance.

I don't recall reading any topics related to regressions with 4.2.20 on Solaris, but the only way to find out is to try and have a good backup just in case.
As for the 4.3.* versions it looks like 4.3.6 might be stable when it is released.
