How Stable Is DR 12.5 in MacOS?

PostTue Apr 19, 2016 11:53 pm

For those that have been using DR12.5 for a while, how stable is it under MacOS?
I'm still in 10.10.4 for the stability it offers.

In a couple days I'm finish a project and I won't upgrade until it's done. However, I would like give it a try
for my next project which is going to start late next week.

Thanks in advance.

Do a backup of your database first.
Then upgrade and test stability. If it's not good on your machine, you can downgrade and use the old database from your backup anytime.

There should be no problem with Yosemite 10.10.5 anyway, independently of the beta.

That OS will stay on my machine as long as possible…
Now that the cat #19 is out of the bag, test it as much as you can and use the subforum.

It's crashing every time at autosave. After system restart it works well for a while then crashing again. Very annoying (MacPro Late 2013, ElCapitan 10.11.4)
