I just posted about my Upgrade Woes with Altium Summer 09 and just now I decided to switch back to Winter 09. In two days I found two major problems for my daily work (yes, 3D integration is a problem for me) and reported another “minor” bug. That’s just too many, esp. as at least two of the bugs should have been found by quality control.

What I can see recently is, that in the last versions

  1. 3D quality degraded massively (not speed, though)
  2. bugs on the first release are quite common
  3. those bugs affect not only “exotic” functions

There are a few nice new functions, but none that I really need…
