Still on Drupal 7? Security support for Drupal 7 ended on 5 January 2025. Please visit our Drupal 7 End of Life resources page to review all of your options.
in my production site I decided for 7.4 version. Still too many bugs in 7.5. In my opinion it should not be recommended to use it on new sites. How will it be with updating from 7.4 to 7.5 when solving most bugs?
The patch is not in dev yet. Every patch must run against the automated tests before being committed. There are basically zero automated tests in 7.4 so you don't know what is/is not working there. 7.5 has an expansive suite with 2000+ assertions. Your help can make 7.5 more stable, there is a reason 7.5 is still called "dev". Right now it is leagues ahead of 7.4 in terms of functionality and stability of the codebase which is why we want to deprecate that branch. See https://www.drupal.org/node/2236419 for more details about why.
If you want to use 7.4 that is fine, there will be an easy upgrade to 7.5. I know some large sites that have already upgraded because they needed the new functionality so bad.
Your only bug submitted that wasn't user error is the short answer feedback not appearing, so I wouldn't give up on 5.x just yet...
