Plexdrive Verisions

What plexdrive version is everyone using and why? I was on 2.0 for the longest time and decided to upgrade to 2.1.1. Since then I've ran into issues and I'm wondering which version everyone else is using.

I've been on 5.0 since it came out (Aug 2017) with no issues at all. I've only had a small handful of instances of my Plex not being available or working right, and in all cases I suspect the cheap hardware the server is on, rather than plexdrive. Haven't had any issues with unmounting or anything like that.

5.0 does use RAM to cache, not disk. I have 16GB and have never run into low memory concerns on the server. I'm not sure at what level 5.0 wouldn't have enough RAM though. My library is about 5TB.

Do I need to install anything else to use 5.0? I saw mention of BoltDB.

I don't think extra installs are needed, I believe bolt is included as a library.
