For my use, yes but I've had it crash under duress (noob learning spree). :) > Any advice at all? No software is perfect. No version is perfect. No upgrade is pefect. With each upgrade of any software you'll get less of the old bugs and more of the minty fresh bugs. The hope is that there will be less new bugs than (now removed) old bugs and that they will be less devastating in nature. That said I like my bugs minty fresh so I'm on 5.4 and will upgrade when the upgrade comes. Now, if you want to give it a go, make a backup of your 4.x files and then run 5.4 on what you have. Poke, prod and twiddle until you feel ok about it. Then delete those files, copy the 4.x files back from your backup and start work in 5.4 in earnest. And above all else, always have backups. They'll lead to less salt in your life which, in turn, will lead to less heart problems. ;) Andrew _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
