Hi, I’m confused what is the differences between those two version? I’m using 3.3.0 on a Mac but not sure if I should use a more recent version. I install that most recent version but the sites from version 3.3.0 don’t show… Thanks ---

Local 5.0.4 is a public beta. Local by Flywheel 3.3.0 is the current release. > **[Releases](https://localwp.com/releases/)** ---

Hi afragen, so in that case it’s better to use the current release and wait for the final version of 5.0.4? ---

It definitely depends. If you’re having Virtualbox related issues, I would recommend Local 5.0.4. [https://localbyflywheel.com/community/t/local-public-beta-changelog/14101/3?u=afragen](https://localbyflywheel.com/community/t/local-public-beta-changelog/14101/3) ---

I recommend 5.0.4 also over 3 it is so much faster and already pretty stable. Be sure to export and backup your sites if you try it 🙂 ---

“pretty stable…”? I’ve seen many issues posted about 5.0.4 and multiple people not able to see any of their previous sites in 5.0.4. ---

Previous sites don’t just show up. You must export them from Local by Flywheel and import them into Local 5.0.4. ---
