Captivate 2017 Is it time to upgrade?

[trillium68]

Captivate 9 has been working really well for me, but I want to keep current. Captivate 2017 has some really cool new features I'd like to have such as being able to publish non-responsive design projects to responsive design etc. But are there bugs with the new version significant enough to warrant delaying upgrading?

Traditionally every new major release of Captivate has had a few major bugs.  But watching the forum so far for this release of Cp 2017 I would have to say that it seems the community has only identified a few minor bugs, none of which seem to be total showstoppers. 

If you DO upgrade, there's no need to remove your Cp9 version.  You can have both running on the same computer.  So I would encourage you to upgrade and start learning about Cp 2017's new features ASAP.  Fluid Boxes alone may prove to be worth the upgrade.

There are several bugs that need a patch, especially if you are working with retina screens as I do. That is indeed usual for any new release and I hope that patch will not take too long. Not all bugs were fixed in 9.0.2 neither, and it works well for you.
