To beta, or not to beta
Hi Guys,
I am currently running WinXP Pro SP3, OO 3.01, Firefox 3.08 and Zotero 1.09.
I have an extensive library and use it to augment technical reports.
I have teetered on upgrading to Zotero 1.5 for several months now but find I still have concerns that there will be problems upgrading or running the 'beta' version.
I do not necessarily need sync, as I only have one main machine.
I thought it might be useful to ask you what issues you encountered upgrading, if any, or is the 'beta' tag primarily related to the sync capability and I am missing a wide variety of functional improvements (e.g. style manger) by not upgrading.

This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Instead of commenting here, you should start a new discussion. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.
1.5b2 generally works more smoothly for me (especially the Ooo plugin) than 1.09
I think general consensus is that the beta refers to the sync (which still is a little buggy).
I strongly recommend the upgrade from my perspective.
I'd like to know which version makes me possible to cite and create bibliographies in Word processor. As I see, citing pluggins of beta version does not permit working with text processors yet, am I wrong?
Thanks
I'm working with:
W XP
Firefox 3.0 with zotero 1.5 beta version
Openoffice 3.0
and the zotero plugin 2.0a2
Actually I have not problems but, anybody has detected any setback while was working whith this combination?
