[Jacopo Cappellato]

The publish process is now complete.
I am not going to send an announcement for this release since we are
publishing it just to have it in our archives for the few that may
want to use it after our announcement of the EOL of the 17.12. branch.

Re: [VOTE] [RESULT] Apache OFBiz 17.12.09

[Pierre Smits]

Hi Jacopo,

Doing an announcement would bring the opportunity to increase the awareness
(as a reminder - again) that use of anything but the latest release is not
advised. And that existing users are invited/urged to migrate/upgrade.

Why forgo on such opportunities to communicate to the outside world?

[ANNOUNCE] Apache OFBiz 17.12 End-Of-Life (EOL) announcement

[jler...@apache.org]

The Apache OFBiz Project Team would like to inform you that OFBiz 17.12.09
is the last release of the 17.12 branch, which has reached its end of life and
won’t be longer officially supported.

https://ofbiz.apache.org/release-notes-17.12.09.html

This announcement takes place on 2022-01-15 and starting from today
we will only support Apache OFBiz 18.12.x in case of security
vulnerabilities.

Questions and Answers:

With the announcement of OFBiz 17.12.09 EOL, what happens to
OFBiz 17.12.09 resources?

All resources will stay where they are. The documentation will still
be accessible from the Apache OFBiz homepage [*], as well as the
downloads for all released OFBiz 17.12.xx versions. All of the OFBiz
17.12.09 source code can be found in the Apache OFBiz Git repository
under branch release17.12, now and in future. This concerns the
framework [**] and the plugins [***].

[*] [https://ofbiz.apache.org/]
[**] [https://github.com/apache/ofbiz-framework]
[***] [https://github.com/apache/ofbiz-plugins]

Is there an immediate need to upgrade from OFBiz 17.12.09 in my projects?

If you are using a release between 17.12.01 and 17.12.08 you should immediately
upgrade to 17.12.09, because there are several Log4j vulnerabilities present in 
all
OFBiz releases before 17.12.09.
As today, there aren't known vulnerabilities affecting OFBiz 17.12.09;
however, considering that the 17.12.09 is the last release in this branch,
you should plan to migrate to the latest version of 18.12.x as soon as possible.

My friends / colleagues and I would like to see OFBiz 17.12.x being
maintained again. What can we do?

You may fork the existing source and support it on your own.

Kind regards
–
The Apache OFBiz Team

Hi Pierre,

Re: Remove Jira archived versions?

[Pierre Smits]

Hi Jacques,

I advise against the removal of archived versions. With the availability of
those, we can get

   - more/better insights in actual versions used when contributors asked
   to set the 'affected version(s) field;
   - contributors can then react quicker to such tickets with:
  - either a 'won't do', or
  - asking for further investigations (if branch is still current)

I would think that for this it would be best to follow the protocol we
apply to tags in the repository (we don't delete tags there).

Met vriendelijke groet,

Pierre Smits
