    Man….another new version…..now we should upgrade after every month. Nirmal do u think that we should upgrade to this one or stick with 2.5.1? Any major problem with the previous version?

    @Hammad
    I recommend changing. The version change is a significant one. It it was 2.5.2, I would have recommend staying with the existing version.
