Maybe because those who are using 5.5.3 successfully don't post; you
only hear about problems. I haven't had any trouble with it. There are,
however, a good many new features and a few changes to old behaviors
that may be interpreted as "bugs" if the developer isn't aware of them.
I'm not saying it's perfect, because I'm sure there certainly must be
bugs in there. But I haven't found any showstoppers for what I'm doing
and I don't think one person's experience should color everyone else's
plans. I've been using 5.5.3 since it became available and I'm just
finishing up a project that couldn't have been done in an earlier version.
Your DevaWriter would probably be more flexible and easier to script
with the new unicode features. I wonder if those are what Horst thinks
are bugs; the scripting has changed considerably and older methods no
longer work.
