Re: RDI stable versions

[x y <xy6581@xxxxxxxxx>]

I've used .11 for heavy source editing/compiling since the day it was
available and can't remember any issues other than the resequencing issue.
I have iSphere installed and that appears to work fine as well.

IMO, the biggest chronic hassles are (1) the SQL formatter making a mess of
non-SQL code if the semicolon terminating an SQL statement is missing (the
SQL formatter ignores RPG semicolons, capitalizes the wrong tokens, removes
my indentation, and deletes my blank lines.  Fortunately, Ctrl-Z works!)
and (2) frequently terrible response time, even on a good PC with few tasks
running, a wired connection to a nearly-gigabit internet WAN connection,
and working in a development partition with nothing else going on (IIRC,
SQL is verified at the host and not locally, so this could be the problem
and one that needs to be addressed by IBM).

IMO, there's no reason not to move ahead.  I don't recall reading any posts
describing a decision to roll back .11 to .10.
