>From my experience (I use Linux) you just install the new version and it will replace the old one. However, it will create new directories for configuration and cache in ~/.netbeans/24 and ~/.cache/netbeans/24, the old ones (i.e. ~/.netbeans/23 and ~/.cache/netbeans/23) will not be deleted so it should be possible to downgrade back to the previous version without much trouble. You won't need to delete the old config and cache directories manually, after some time Netbeans will ask you if you want to delete them. > (b) is xdebug v3 compatible with Netbeans 24, or do I have to use > xdebug v2? Netbeans 24 should support both, I'm using xdebug 3 and it so far it works fine. > (c) what is the latest version of php supported for hints and tips > etc? PHP 8.3 Have a good day, Paolo --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@netbeans.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@netbeans.apache.org For further information about the NetBeans mailing lists, visit: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Mailing+lists
