Differences between CiviCRM 3.x and 4x

I am planning to use CiviCRM with Drupal, but am not clear whether there are any advantages in going with CiviCRM 4.x/Drupal 7 rather than 3.x/Drupal 6.   Can anyone advise?  Thanks.

Hi,

If you don't need any specific drupal modules that are D6 only, go for D7/civi 4

Otherwise as for civi, that's the same features in the two versions. As of 4.1, it will be the same codebase for beside a few drupal specific code.

Like Xavier said, unless there's a strong reason to use Drupal 6, definitely go with Drupal 7--it has much more long term support planned.
