Yes, always update. It's always worth it. ... Really. :-)

I don't mean to suggest you should be the first on your
block to update, but I have never, ever thought I would
be better off with an older version of IDL, ever. As a
rule the IDL X.X.1 versions are about as stable as you
are likely to get.

Yes, there are bugs and problems with new versions.
But, most of the time, old bugs are fixed, too.
And that is the *real* value in updating.

Cheers,

David
