## When to upgrade
|
|
|
|
Boxes has been around a long time, and it has been very stable. Sometimes, new releases are still
|
|
required to ensure that *boxes* continues to compile smoothly on a large number of platforms.
|
|
Whether or not you should upgrade to a new version depends on what you've got, and what you want
|
|
to do:
|
|
|
|
- **Building from Source:** If you want to [build from source]({{ site.baseurl}}/build.html), you
|
|
should always use the latest sources from the above table. You may also clone the repo and build
|
|
the bleeding edge. Since we have a stable master branch, this will also get you a good build, but
|
|
it will be a snapshot version.
|
|
|
|
- **Using a binary:** The last major functional enhancements were in version 1.1 (of 2006). So if
|
|
you've got a working 1.1 binary on your system, you're good and you don't really need to upgrade.
|
|
Staying on the even older 1.0.1 will mean that you're missing features (such as better tab
|
|
handling and the 'mend' option). Anything prior to 1.0.1 should definitely be upgraded.
|
|
|
|
Note that you can always copy the [latest box designs](https://github.com/{{ site.github }}/blob/master/boxes-config)
|
|
from GitHub to replace your older *boxes-config* (Unix) or *boxes.cfg* (Windows) - the designs
|
|
are backwards compatible.
