Stalker version running in IPTV servers

[mjvc]

I have tested loads of different servers, however it seems like most of them are still using a Stalker version dated from last year (5.0.3)! In the meanwhile was released a bunch of new versions mainly to fix bugs and currently is on 5.1.1, do you guys know why they're still on 5.0.3!?
I have tried to discuss this with my own iptv subscriber however they're very keen to talk about it...

I'm really not sure. I think a big reason would be due to the server downtime required to update and then to test. To achieve it without downtime, they would need to setup a whole new portal with the newer version, and then test before migrating everyone to it.

Other possibility is that the newer versions are introducing new features - which introduces new unseen bugs thst didn't affect previous versions. Lots of Stalker servers are on 4.9, and I would say they are incredibly stable.

But unfortunately I'm just guessing.


Cheers!

Yeh that's a possibility... it is really a shame because the new GUI is amazing!
