I'm returning to OC after several years and wonder what the most reliable version is nowadays?

Before I think I was using 2.3.0.1 or similar, at the time v3 wasn't as stable.

Should I just start afresh with v4? I have extensions in v2 that I would like to keep using.

???

According to OC website latest version is 4.0.1.1?

Not intersted in downloading the very latest version, I appreciate that's no use until tried and tested, just asking what the most stable version is nowadays?

Well that's very helpful thank you.

I asked a perfectly valid question, you reply sarcastically indicating the v5 wouldn't be out until 2025.

OC is available to download in v4 so I'm not sure why you're being so unhelpful.

If anyone other than this member can answer my question seriously it would be greatly appreciated.

3.0.3.8 seems to be the most stable latest version

4.x is still buggy and needs a lot more fixes

OpenCart 4.0.1.1 isn't stable enough IMHO for a live website, it should only be used by developers.

Use OpenCart 3.0.3.8 (for PHP 7.4), or the 3.0.x.x_Maintenance (based on 3.0.3.8 with some bugfixes and added PHP 8 support) for a live website.

Thank you, very helpful replies.

Out of interest, I'd I continued to use older 2.3.0.1 are there any potential issues? Security it limited mods for example?

I needed to see if extensions I use are compatible or available for V3.
