RE: Got 5.1.2 today, so should I install it? (was RE: 5.1.2not quite ready for prime time)

Most of the problems I have encountered are on the Java end of things
(PCML wizard pukes for instance) but the RPG /jLpex side of things has
been much better than 5.1.1.  

I did an upgrade, not a new install.

5.1.2not quite ready for prime time)

All,

Got 5.1.2 delivered today, wondering if I should install it or wait
awhile longer.

I know Joe's not particularly impressed and I've seen posts from others
regarding problems.  So I'm, leaning toward waiting.

But I've got somebody wanting to start using WDSc, I'd prefer to start
them out on the current version.


So I thought I'd kick this question out and see how happy the rest of
you are with 5.1.2.

Thanks in advance,
Charles
