PW3 Queries - Backward compatibility, overal stability, etc

[rickm]

Hi there,

I've not used processwire for a few months but have been keeping an eye on version 3 as I'm due to start a new processwire site within the next few weeks and had a couple of questions:

1.  Are modules for ProcessWire 2.7 generally compatible with ProcessWire v3?
2. Would I be better off sticking with 2.7 for now, and upgrading at a later date (assuming that's possible)?

I did have a flick through the forums and blog posts however couldn't see anything that answered these questions, apologies if I've missed it somewhere though.

Many thanks

@rickm this is answered discussed already, but can not find it yet.

BUt the good news is, you can use PW 3 right now with PW 2.7 modules or earlier ones. To get more informations you should google in blog posts with the term: FileCompiler
