Stm32CubeIDE | Most reliable version

[Zzaaack]

Hi everyone,

 

I'e been working with a fw stm32 MCUs products in the last years and I want to decide which is the best way to proceed in the "update to latest version" of CubeIDE.

The point is: once i start a project, I usually keep the same CubeIDE version till the end, just to avoid regressions during time-stringent situations. At the end, I feel the need to update to the latest available "to be sure to have all latest bug-fixes" before starting a new one, even though the updates might not impact on my work.

This need always, and I mean it, always end up with me uncovering as we say "hot water", some bugs (as live expression bug in 1.19.0) and running to recover from the heartache, picking all modifications applied on a new project (thank you git) started in an older "more reliable" version of CubeIDE.

As of today my main question might be: based on your experience, among the last couple of years releases which is the most reliable version of CubeIDE you have used? Is it that bad my need to try and stay updated?

 

Thanks to all of you in advance.

Don't update immediately. Wait a month after the last version has been released. After that, it's a good bet it's the best version to use.

Live expressions have been in a broken--sometimes working sometimes not--state for quite a few releases.
