Hello,

I would like to ask which version would you suggest v2.3.0.2 or 3 ?
I have a store with 90000 products and I am familiar with 2.3.0.2 TPL system, so I can make some changes quick.
v3 I know there is a new system, but is it worth it ?

With all software, using the most recent release is strongly advised. I have been using 3.0.2.x - 3.0.3.1 without issue for nearly a year on multiple sites. I did have issues with upgrading from 3.0.3.1 to 3.0.3.2 though.

OC runs on PHP 7+ which gives you substantial performance increases over PHP 5. PHP 5 is no longer supported so any security flaws discovered will not be patched, that in itself is reason to go to 3x.

If you need to become PCI compliant, the jQuery released with OC2 will not pass some of the security the scans.

If you are doing live credit card processing, PHP 5x may not support some of the newer TLS protocols.
