masm 6.14 or 6.15?

Are there any major differences between these two versions of MASM ?
Or rather, should I be using 6.15 instead of the 6.14 that comes with the masm32 package?

From what I understand, 6.15 is buggish.
Hutch is the right guy to talk to about this.

Mike,

6.15 is fine, its a warmed over 6.14 with SSE2 added.

As far as 'buggy' goes, it is no more (or less) buggy as 6.14. GeneSys uses 6.15 with little or no problems.

rags,

Both 6.14 and 6.15 are fine. If you download the GeneSys package, you have the chance to try 6.15

dedndave,

6.15 is not 'buggish'. It's the one I prefer to use.

since sse2 is a major improvment (not the case for sse3+), 6.15 is the MINIMUM. 6.14 is undeer this minimum...
personally i use 8.0... a bit more strict... but better...

Quote from: NightWarepersonally i use 8.0...

Why not 9.0? If I needed to use a newer version, I would use 9.0.

with a rtc connexion, the 8.0 zip is considerably smaller... so it's not really a question of choice/performance/stability here :wink

Then - as Black Vortex said - JWASM.
