Hi, I need to install a new wiki - now I am wondering what I should do - Install 1.5 and live for now with some bugs (I will be the one to create most of the pages - it is quite unlikely that there will be many contributors) or install 1.4.
Unless you're willing to put up with a lot, you should probably install the current 1.4 stable release.
We have not yet released a beta test version of 1.5, and database structure changes are still being made. A stable release of 1.5 is currently scheduled for June 1.
Which difficulties do I encounter when updating from 1.4 to 1.5 and which when starting with 1.5 now and then updating to a more stable version?
In theory, the upgrade from 1.4 to 1.5 should be automated and relatively clean.
If you track the current development and future beta code, you might have to do more manual clean-up and fixing, and can fully expect to have things not working and possible data loss in the meantime.
