Is NSIS 3.0b1 stable for production usage?

Question

I want to try out NSIS install system. On the download page http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Download

There are version 2.46 ( last updated in 2009 ) , and the newer 3.0b1 .

It seems the newer one is in beta and I worry about stability issues.
I wonder if any of you have experience with both versions and willing to comment on them .

BTW, is NSIS still under active maintenance ?

Answer 1

NSIS 3 is basically NSIS 2.46 merged with the Unicode fork + additional bugfixes. Most of the changes are in the compiler and not in the generated installers.

Development is still active but don't expect a new release until after Win10 RTM...
