You can't purchase particular versions of Corona, it's subscription based, so you subscribe then you can choose which version to download.
The newer versions are always better - new features, bugs fixed, better quality and/or faster.

Version 3 had lots of bugs which you will not have in 5.
At least in C4D.

This is true for each version, if i am not mistaken in v3 works hair and fur shader but slow shadow catcher. in v5 H&F shader not work but also it crash with volume material with texture, etc

There's nothing to be confused about. You should always use the latest official version, as it will always be better than the older ones. But it's also true that there will always be people who likes complaint about new things, since in their mind old times were simply better :]

i am not complaint but it's very sad when you start new project and notice what some things what was works before now they not working and you need to use workaround like texture in root color in H&F what slowing down rendering. But new displacement in v5 is great so you need to choose between hair or new displacement what also not working with CoronaWire map what is also confusing if you need to see tessellation

I wasn't talking about you, it was just a generalization, but i'd like to address both your concerns. Prior V5 there was no hair shader in Corona. Yes, it has some limitations in combination with max's H&F, but it's not some new bug introduced in Corona. Regarding displacement and CoronaWire map, AFAIK it still works with old displacement, but it's not supported in new displacement, which was simply not present in previous version, so it's not fair to say "it worked before, but now it doesn't". New tech is not always compatible with legacy stuff, but i don't think it's developers' fault. If they will find a way to improve functionality of new tools, they will definitely add this to new versions.
