Hi Adam, Does this mean the "legacy" tags were deleted from DockerHub too?
Why was removing the commithash-based tags deprecated and removed? I don't think we had a discussion around this. Originally I was the one introducing the commit-hash based tags for both Fineract and for the Mifos UI because what we all can agree on is that we have infrequent releases. As long as we don't have a predefined release train for the next 6 months, preferably with monthly releases, I just don't see how anybody can effectively rely on Fineract releases. Imagine you have a client who uses Fineract. There's a bug. You fix it, open a PR, merge it to the develop branch and that's all. Bug is fixed, nothing is released, the bugfix cannot be applied to your client since you don't have an official release of Fineract which includes the fix. Waiting for 6 months for a new release? Unrealistic. In my opinion this rather incentivizes forking Fineract completely and never looking back. As long as we don't make it easy for clients to grab the latest things easily (and "latest" is not an option, because it always moves and companies want predictable things), we're pushing people off from building a strong (client) community. Let me know if I misunderstood something.
