I don’t know which version everyone is using. I see that the newer version is 6.5.5, but I’m hesitant to use version 7.0.

LTS versions are all fine. If you want more stability, I recommend 6.1.X and 6.5.X.

I am currently using version 6.5.3, I can try 6.5.5.

6.5.5, the larger the last number, the fewer issues with this major version.

This year, version 7.5 LTS will be released. If you are in a hurry, use 6.5.5 first; otherwise, wait a bit longer.

6.5.x or 6.1.x maximum subversion

6.5.5 Stable

| username: Jellybean | Original post link

I recommend the latest version 6.5.

Personally, I think it’s better to go directly to v7.1.1. After all, we will eventually need to upgrade to version 7, and applying for a major version upgrade is relatively difficult.

v6.5 is stable

The BMW 7 Series is not well-received.

Wait a few days to upgrade to 7.1.2.

| username: yeminhua | Original post link

You can upgrade to V6.5. After we upgraded to 6.5, it became much more stable than before.

| username: dockerfile | Original post link

What was the original value? Explain in detail where it is unstable.

6.5.6

| username: 像风一样的男子 | Original post link

I’ve been waiting for a long time, and version 6.5.6 still hasn’t been officially released.

| username: 路在何chu | Original post link

There is a 4.0.13 version, it’s too old.

| username: 路在何chu | Original post link

It seems that 6.5.5 is still the most common.
