Happy Holidays to you too!!! Thank you a lot for all the work you and the team did, words are not enough to express my gratitude.

Since this is a massive update do you recommend doing a fresh install or a normal update is enough?

[vladmandic]

Reinstall is never a bad idea for a major release, but it's not actually required this time.
