Which version of Box2D should I use?

Post by KAMIKAZE »

v2.3.2 (latest in a code, so just use/download latest code from git) https://github.com/erincatto/Box2D/blob ... gs.cpp#L24

v.2.3.1 (latest on releases, but 3y old )
https://github.com/erincatto/Box2D/releases/tag/v2.3.1

@iforce2d Which version you are using in all your games?

I think I used 2.3.0 or 2.3.1 for most of my stuff. As far as I know there is very little difference to the library itself for a long time, most of the changes were to the testbed GUI from about 2.3 onward.

As I said above, I use 2.3.0 or 2.3.1 for most of my stuff and there is very little difference to the library features since then. Bugfixes are not features and will not affect the way you write your own program.
