The installers are the same (or updated) so that shouldn't
be an issue. What could be an issue is bugs, but from the top
of my head, I don't know any really critical ones in the latest
2.9.x versions (however, see the new bug tracker that Graham
has began to fill with bug reports today).

Over the past several months I've become a fairly heavy use of Lilypond (non
developer), I've been upgrading to the latest "stable" installer packages
(currently have 2.8.5) as they are released with no big issues. I'm
thinking this time I'd like to maybe upgrade with the "developer" installer
package, since I'm seeing some enhancements that I'd like to take advantage
of (currently 2.9.17) and I know the language a lot better now.
Would a non-programmer have big issues with continuing their music using the
developer releases? Do the developer setup packages install everything as
smoothly as the "stable" packages? Or should a non-programmer, who is
nevertheless confident with lp usage, still stick with the "stable"
releases? Risk-wise I can tolerate minor software defects and workarounds,
but would not want to install something that has "show stopper" bugs, but
dont mind being on the "bleeding edge".
Thanks for any insight on this from anyone testing new releases.
