Which Unity version should I use?
I'm working now since I've gotten the Hololens a few months back with the 5.4 technical preview. But today I saw that the new Unity Beta 5.5.0 has some improvements for the Hololens. Does that mean, that I can use this Beta for the Hololens? The Unity page for Hololens still tells me that I should use the preview from August which is kinda "old" now. Here are the Beta news : https://unity3d.com/unity/beta/unity5.5.0b10

I tried 5.5 for about a day and then moved back to 5.4. Too many issues with basic things like UI. Also, crashes quite often so was a no can do for me.

i'm using Unity HoloLens 5.4.0f3-HTP (64-bit). This is official unity for hololens. But i think Unity 5.4.0f3 Will Be good. Check It https://unity3d.com/partners/microsoft/hololens on realese note
Yeah, I'm just wondering whether I could use 5.5.0 or not. Hopefully, someone tried that already

Thanks for the information. So basically, it would work but it's not stable enough for efficient use.
It is not stable enough for a release. If you were to give it a try make sure you duplicate your project. I did not do that and wasted some time on the rollback. Then you have to clean your project properly or you are facing hours of painful development.
