Which is the best AddThis_widget Javascript version to use? (250 or 300)

workinginnz Jan 09, 2012 10:44PM EST

Hi,

I'm setting Add This up on a website and I've used version 300 (3.00?) of the widget JS, but when I run the code check it tells me this is out of date and I should use version 250 (2.50?).

Am I right in thinking version 300 is actually newer though and which version is recommended?

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/250/addthis_widget.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/300/addthis_widget.js"></script>

Thanks / Russ

3.0 is currently in beta. We accidentally pushed it out as live code but you should still use 2.5 until we get all the kinks worked out. When 3.0 is ready we'll let you know.

3.0 is available now, but we're still recommending people use 2.5. For instance 3.0 is still using reCAPTCHA, which is not as good as nuCAPTCHA.

Thanks, I've rolled back to version 2.5 for now, is there a list of the main differences available anywhere?
