The last I had was 1.153. However, I found that I was being disconnected when I got invited to a raid. I removed it entirely. I then was able to be invited. I also noticed that I had almost no noticeable lag in battles. This may have been due to a smaller raid group, but I would tend to believe that some of it was because it was spamming the chat channel more and more as they added features. Raid groups do assume that everyone has it installed. Even so, I would like to hear some good reports before I do try it again.

Mixed reviews on it from me. I used it in UBRS last night and I had more little hiccups and stops than I did on the last UBRS raid where I wasn't running it. But I think it is improved.
Of course what was killing me last night and I don't know if it was CTRaid related or not, was that everything would stop for 1 to 3 seconds every time a rogue went into or came out of stealth or feinted or evaded. That has not happened to me before. With 2 rogues around that was really hurting me when I was in a position of needing to try and lock aggro on everything that wasn't CC'd. In some cases I ended up breaking and tanking things that could have been CC'd because I couldn't get off them and after you break it 2 or 3 times the mages will rightfully stop. So I really have no idea what was up with that because it's never happened before.
Other than that battle lag that I've seen in the past was not nearly as bad with this version as it was with other versions. The MT and MA targets didn't seem to be working right at all though so I was back to good old macros for that.
I had not issues with being dropped or getting any error messages or anything like that. But I did the delete the old one. Fire up game bring in some chars. Exit game, install new one, do some stuff, exit game, then play as normal.
