Just a quick heads-up that CWB::CQP::more isn't part of the official CWB distribution, so we can't guarantee availability and compatibility of the module

These are the official CWB/Perl modules, on which CWB::CQP::More depends and which have been updated to v3.5.0 recently together with the 3.5.0 release of CWB.

> What do you advise? Shall I upgrade to 3.5.0

Please do!  Version 3.5.0 is now the official release with long-term support.

> or shall I keep 3.4 which is the recommended version according to https://cwb.sourceforge.io/changes.php?

The Web page is still waiting for Andrew to find some time to re-design it and revise the content, and an official announcement on this mailing list has been waiting for said update of the Web page, but version 3.5.0 has actually been released at the end of July.
