Hello,

I'm looking to upgrade our currently heavily modified 3.7 board to 4.0/4.1 in the near future. But I'm kind of confused as to whether I should wait for 4.1 to come out or just go ahead and go with 4.0. I need the CMS/Suite part as it is crucial to my upgrade but I've heard that 4.1 will be significantly improved from 4.0.

What would you suggest? Is it reasonable to assume that 4.1 will be out within the next month or two? Or should I go ahead and upgrade now?

Thanks

For starters, 4.1 will probably have large changes in the Styling part. This means that if you pay someone to make you a custom style now, it will not work with 4.1, or it will need heavy update work to work.

Another thing you should check is if all the mods you need/have in your 3.7 installation are available for 4.x
