hi.. many thanks for the reply.. sorry for more question to ask:
recently, we've moved our production database from fb 1.5.0 to fb
2.0.0 "final release" version, haven't got a chance to use any fb
2.0 new feature, but after fb 2.0.1 came out, we saw many bug fixes
and the fb 2.0.1 version is "release candidate 1", pls in your
opinion what version should we use for our production database with
stability consideration: fb 1.5.4 or fb 2.0.1 ? thanks.. eddy from
indonesia.
