First of all, the latest bug fix release in scala 2.10 is 2.10.5. Apart from that, 2.11 has been out for over a year now and is already on version 2.11.6. Also scala 2.12 is only about half a year away.\r\n\r\nIs there any particular reason for staying with 2.10?\r\n\r\nP.S. Exercism is addictive :smile: "},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/exercism/xscala/issues/comments/111746019","html_url":"https://github.com/exercism/xscala/issues/79#issuecomment-111746019","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/exercism/xscala/issues/79","id":111746019,"user":{"login":"kytrinyx","id":276834,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/276834?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/kytrinyx","html_url":"https://github.com/kytrinyx","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kytrinyx/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kytrinyx/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kytrinyx/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kytrinyx/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kytrinyx/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kytrinyx/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kytrinyx/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kytrinyx/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kytrinyx/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-06-13T20:18:18Z","updated_at":"2015-06-13T20:18:18Z","body":"I don't think there's any standard. In the Ruby track I try to make sure that it's compatible with recent versions, but we've not locked to any particular version of the language (CI currently runs agains v2.1.2, and the latest stable version is 2.2.2). We upgrade regularly.\r\n\r\nWith Go we run against several versions on CI, including \"tip\". A couple of weeks ago we caught an interesting bug because of it.\r\n\r\nI guess my guideline (if I had one) would be \"pick something that makes sense for the language\". I would probably upgrade regularly, but if being on the bleeding edge makes it harder to get started, then I would avoid that."}}
