I have asked Dan to send this question to the dev list since I was shared between my will to back-port and my duty to not do it on my sole opinion
+1 for me Thanks for your work Dan Jacques De : "Dan Shields" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Thanks Jacques for helping get my patch for OFBIZ-1106 into OFBiz. > > Hello Devs, recently I participated with other developers to devise a > fix for OFBIZ-1106. The patch I submitted is now in HEAD but > UNsurprisingly it has been held back from release4.0 because the > acceptance criteria, I am told, accepts only bug fixes. > > Some would agree that release4.0 was unusable for POS for the fact > that it echos the manager's and the user's password to the screen for > all staff and customers to see.
