Should i choose 2.x or 3.x - Confused |
I am planning to use CodeIgniter. I m confused which version to use.
Obviously 2.x is the stable version to use right now. If 3.x is released, What should i do? Can someone clarify my doubts?
If I was starting a new project or if I was just beginning to use CI I would go with version 3. By the time your project is ready for release CI 3 will probably be stable.

There's only one rule - please don't tell anyone to go and read the manual. Sometimes the manual just SUCKS!
If i start a project with 2.x, Can i easily upgrade it to 3.x?
From the above replies, I think it is not that easy. Will there be any 2.4, 2.5, etc version or 2.2.1 is going to be the last version?
I would recommend CI3. I have used it for over 12 months in various projects large and small and have not found any real issues. I continue to pull down the latest dev version ever few weeks and it only gets better.
That said, I am not sure what the LTS is going to be on CI2 but I can't see any reason to start a new project on v2 at this time as v3 will be the "current" version very soon (maybe even before your project is production ready?)

If you choose 2.x version you can upgrade in the future, see here: https://www.chuongduong.net/ci3/installa...ading.html V3 is looking promising as it has only 1 open issue left currently, see here: https://github.com/bcit-ci/CodeIgniter/i...=is%3Aopen Here is (unofficial) documentation for CodeIgniter 3, view here: http://dannynunez.com/codeigniter-3-0-documentation/
The best option will be 3.0 Dev.
Pro: 1. The 3.0 DEV version is stable. 2. No need to upgrade after. 3. Latest fixes and addons. 4. And so on

I'd recommend 3.0. It is slated for a release pretty soon and is pretty darn stable already.
