Hi,

Please forgive me if this is answered more consistently somewhere.  I searched the FAQ and forums and didn't find a definitive answer.  It may be there, and honest, I did search for it :-)

On this page   http://www.magiclantern.fm/install.html  it says:

"Installing Magic Lantern             This document is up-to-date.
This guide is only valid for version 2.3. We will NOT support beta versions and nightly builds. We strongly advise to use the official Magic Lantern version only. Those are well tested and reliable. "

But on this page    http://wiki.magiclantern.fm/install    it says:

"Magic Lantern v2.3 - Install Guide
This guide is only valid for version 2.3 (currently obsolete, but you need it for first install). After first install, we strongly recommed to upgrade to a recent nightly build (simply unzip the nightly files on the card). "

Since there hasn't been a stable release since 2012  I'm wondering what I should be using.  I don't want to deal with too many strange behaviors, of which I have had several in the 2.3 version.  So what is it?  Should I use nightly builds or stick with V2.3 until (if?) a new stable release appears?

I use a 50D and like to have HDR bracketing, time lapse and the basic video capability, but many other features I haven't gotten into yet.

Thanks very much to all the developers who have brought this software to us with it's great features!!

I know, somebody needs to update the website.

Try the nightly.
