Hi,

I had some problems with the CVS-module of version 3.0 and switched back to
2.1.1 hoping this would fix it.
Turned out it didn't and the problem was somewhere else, but while I was
using 2.1.1 I could not really see any difference between the two versions.
I started out on 3.0 and then went back to 2.1.1 only briefly, but the most
obvious things like the GUI, settings and most functions I used during this
short time all seemed to be the same.
What has really changed between 2.1.1 and 3.0? Since this sounds like a
major version change, I expected more drastic changes.

The second question: How stable is version 3 - especially the "3.0 Stream
Stable Build". It seemed to me like it's might even be ready for
production!?

Thanks,

MARK

(you can also view the past milestone changes from that page as well).

those detail major changes and from there you'll see a lot has changed
between the two versions.

It's quite usable, but not production quality. For example, in M4 the
template mechanism is somewhat broken, CVS synchronization not as reliable
as it should be (try renaming a class) and some other minor glitches. We are
using it at work, nevertheless, because it also has some big productivity
enhancing new features.

Take care, Ilja
