I have customers asking me a simple question I don't really have a good
answer for: "What is the latest release of RDi that is stable enough for my
development group?

I use the very latest: 9.6.0.3
I use it exclusively.
I started using it the hour it was available.
I use it every day.
I edit ILE RPG, CL, SQL, and DDS.
I debug the same.
My workspace, and my program installation are on my ancient, local hard drive.
I connect to one IBM i.
I have a half dozen or so connexions and a few dozen filters.
I have user commands.
I have extended RDi with my own Java plug-in, and that works too.

I don't have any issues to report.

We know IBM works really hard to improve the quality and functionality of
RDi, I'm not questioning those efforts, but it feels like the reality is
falling short of the desire.

It is the nature of support mailing lists that people post their problems. :-/

I'll follow with a second question that might be more relevant: Are the
issues identified on this list partly due to environment (desktop computer)
or style of use, as opposed to the base code of the product? If so what are
the recommended minimums as opposed to the published minimums.

My work PC is something like 7 years old. Windows 7, 4GB RAM.
