I’m now using Unity 2018.4.7 LTS as i was told it’s a stable version. I happened to check and saw that 2018.4.9 has been released. Is 2018.4.9 better than 2018.4.7? Does 4.9 have more features and is more stable than 4.7? Do I bother downloading 4.9? Can anyone advise?
The LTS stream is for users who wish to continue to develop and ship their games/content and stay on a stable version for an extended period.
The LTS version will not have any new features, API changes or improvements. It will address crashes, regressions, and issues that affect the wider community, such as Enterprise Support customer issues, console SDK/XDK, or any major changes that would prevent a large section of users from shipping their game. Each LTS stream will be supported for a period of two years.
That means 4.9 has received more bug fixes than 4.7. You can check the release notes to see if there were any issues fixed that are currently affecting you, but if not, there is no reason to upgrade. LTS, as in Long Term Support, applies to 2018.4 as a whole (or any last/fourth version each year).
