Hi all,
If you are using BR 4.2 - either in production or in testing, can you please let me know? This is related to the planning of the Spring Conference. You can reply to me here or privately - either way.
Thanks.

I am using 4.2C. Runs quite nicely. Every now and then there is a backward compatability issue, mostly with printing.
I don't recall any issues related to 4.2C, but I still don't use all the features, particularly in lists and grids.
I would be interested in testing out the web application that, I forget who, has been trying to install over the past several weeks. I think I saw that it is now up and running.
Congratulations.

We implemented BR 4.20c for our in-house support application around June of last year. The BR is dated 5/4/2009.
I turned on the following options:
OPTION 56 - SRCH returns -1 instead of 0
OPTION 60 - Save in 4.18 format
I love the idea behind OPTION 56, but we have a ton of IF SRCH<0 lines in our program. If only we had used IF SRCH<=0.
Option 60 retains BR 4.18 compatability with the code. My strategy is to use BR 4.2 as a "Bridge Release", next time, I will remove OPTION 60, and use the new format. This makes is easier to support multiple releases simultaneously at the cost of some BR 4.2 features.

No OPTIONS created in the last decade have been dropped.
