AUXSAYS verdict WAIT

Current reports mention startup or application crashes and render/export failures. Production editors with active delivery deadlines should wait or test on copied projects.

Recommendations

  • Wait if you have active render/export deadlines.
  • Review the sample reports before updating a production workstation.

Current reports mention startup or application crashes in application stability, general workflow reports, render/export failures in application stability.

Too few reports for a firm verdict yet — treat this as early evidence.
