The Github repo is updated for ZC 1.5.5.

The Github repo is updated for ZC 1.5.5.

Since I want to use IH with a fresh install of ZC 1.5.5a, which version of IH should I use? I have not used IH before.
I noticed on the Image Handler 4 for v1.5.x Plugin page, it says, "Zen Cart Versions v1.5.0, v1.5.1"
I'm guessing this is the link to the updated for ZC 1.5.5 version at Github https://github.com/DivaVocals/zen_Image-Handler you are referring to.

Should I use the version on the ZC Plugin page or should I use the version at Github?

Thanks so much!

Based on the recent posts, the github version would be the one to use even with ZC 1.5.5.a.

Yes, that is what I am inclined to think as well. However, the README.md in the Github version says . . .
## This is a development version of Image Handler v4.3.4 only
#### If you are looking to install the latest version from zencart please visit [this page](http://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=1380)

So, I'm wondering what that implies, if anything, concerning which version I should use for ZC 1.5.5?

So, generally speaking "storage" locations such as github are used to support development. IH4 for more recent versions hasn't been packaged up by anyone (and truly anyone can do this) for distribution on the ZC site. If you were to wander back in this thread, I think there are statements about how the currently available ZC version has issues working with more recent versions of ZC. Further, understand that just about everything you see here has been provided/maintained by someone that is willing and able to sustain it. What that means in part is that sometimes instructions/links/etc... may not be fully up-to-date. That said, a live person (the recent long-term maintainer of this plugin) has stated that the github version is good for zc 1.5.5.

Another thing about it all, you could always test things out on your development server/location. You have one of those don't you? Somewhere you can test and try things before applying to your live site?

I'm using the git one, and so far so good.
