5.5 vs 6.1

[basZero <ba...@gmail.com>]

Hi,
is there any documentation page that outlines the PROS and CONS about
whether to use 5.5 or 6.1?
I'm using Java 1.8 so 6.1 might be the right choice, however I believe that
6.x is still quite fresh and might have more bugs than the more matured 5.5?

Thanks
Bas

Why 6.1 should have more bugs than 5.5 ?
6.1 does contain tons of bugfixes and new features.
Of course sperimental features can be buggy, but for the rest I would go
with 6.1 ( which is 5.5 more mature )

If you don't like 6.x you can go with 5.5.2 which have bugfixes backported.
Cheers
