Does installing v.106 mitigate the need to find and install v.105 or are the fixes made in v.105 included in the v.106 download? Last edited by kevinlamb; 03/20/16 02:28 PM.

If you have missed a build, don't worry about it as each build includes prior builds for that version of the program.

I'm saying, in my experience build 105 might be worth looking for (if I'm not too late!) and leave it at that. It's way better than build 106, but I can't go back now without too much hassle, next full release is just a few months away anyway.

I did try report some of those "105->106" issues to PG support, but I guess they're undoubtedly concentrating on the next full release already, so another free patch is highly unlikely by now. I'm sorry I caught your thread too late to prevent the extra reinstall.
