How could I see if the OpenPLi file is a stable one?
There is new OpenPLi files posted every day......
Where can I see what is done with the new version of the file?
If there is so many updated files there must be some important things done with them or????
Is it worth to upgrade to the newest?..... Today I have 2.1

An image is never stable... 
So we're working now with nightly builds and they are stable and always have the latest features.
In case really something is going wrong and we receive a feedback on a forum we can set a skull status to an image.... During an upgrade you are notified then.....
We always have the images availbale from a few days before. So via the autobackup option you easily can go back to a previous image in case something goes wrong.

There is no more 'stable' version.
This dates back to the time when we were not "open", and had releases once or twice a year. Once we started with our nightly builds, we noticed that most people wanted to update regularly, and those that had installed a 'stable' version (that should be frozen) still wanted to update parts of it. For us, that is completely unmanageble.
So we decided to only generate nightly builds. There are a lot of people updating daily, so if you check the forum and the image status on the homepage (they will change colour and are marked with a skull-and-bones image when there is an issue with the current nightly build) before you decide to run an update.
The changes in the image are reported on repository commit level, either via our mailing lists (http://sourceforge.n...group_id=267704) or via Twitter (@openpli).
In general there are changes every day. Some are functional, some are internal, some are bugfixes. You only can judge if it is worth it to run an update.

I understand there were issues in our automated build process, but I haven't seen details.

A lot of changes are internal (stability, support for tuners, bug solving, etc) which you don't see of course.

I suggest only every now and then, when a new feature is introduced that you want, or when a bug you have is fixed.
There is no real answer to this, some update every day, some not for months. A lot of people use the box to watch TV, which works, so they don't see the need to update.
When you do, I suggest in the afternoon/evening (GMT), and check here first for any reported issues with last nights build.
To update, the best option is to choose the "unattended update" mode, it shuts down Enigma before running the update, which can prevent memory and stability issues with some updates.
