Noob question here: Do I need to keep 5.0.3 installed when installing and using 5.1, or can I uninstall 5.0.3? Basically, do I need 5.0.3 (Or previous engine version) to use 5.1 to its full capacity?

Thanks for the tips! If I’m using GitHub for source control, would you recommend creating a new repo entirely for the copied files? Wouldn’t I be able to roll back to a previous iteration of my project that used 5.0.3 if 5.1 breaks things? Cheers :D
