* I suppose it's preferred to upgrade 3.5.10 to 3.6.6, not 3.6.4. There is AFAIK no need to this mid-step. | |||
* Support update (We don't have metrics and we're sad-made): | |||
** 3.6.4 top issues were: | |||
*** Hangs caused by too-short timeout on hang detector (fixed in 3.6.6) | |||
*** Hangs at startup/can't load any windows | |||
** 3.6.6 top issues so far: | |||
*** Firewall/AV complaints (should have mostly cleared up, zzxc?) | |||
*** Proxy complaints | |||
