Right! On the other side M5 is rather stable, there is no need to update to
M6.

Current problems I'm aware of in M5:
 * debugger hangs sometimes when selecting variable which is optimized away

Not sure whether this is already reported.

Ah, I didn't noticed it. I don't trust such stuff and always perform
ordinary searches.

The indexer problems are already fixed. See bugs 180948, 180062, 180063.
Not yet fixed is 181015. I will probably also try a dialy build the next
days to test it ...

The indexer in M6 is also 50% slower but has reduced memory requirements.
This will probably not change soon.
 
I also noticed that there are problems opening a M5 workspace with version
M6 (or was it the reverse?). At least a few views where missing.
