Re: ofbiz latest stable version
From: "Carsten Schinzer" All, talking about that, I have a related question which actually would also explain the uncertainty that is behind the initial question of this mail-thread: - How is the Release Plan document and the Main New Features document related? Not much. - When will the next official release happen? AFAIK no decision has been already taken. Historically, we could expect one for 2011... I can tell you that this time the release (R9.04) is really better I believe there is a main part in the project management missing if the trunk is just left as is and anyone can do anything in order to improve the piece they are just interested in. Is there any initiative from the commiter's side to channel improvements on a certain component into a release roadmap and e.g. include only functional extensions in on or a handful of "focus" components plus bugfixes into the next "official release"? As it has been said already many times, OFBiz is a true open source project driven by a community and not a phoney driven by a company behind. This (not specially OFBiz I mean), IMO, is not only noble but will tremendously change the futur of software and hopefully the world, wh... But it has also some drawbacks : more difficult to organize, less man power, etc. These are some of the reasons why we have not been able so far to do somethning like you suggest. And to be franc, I doubt we will, at least in a predictibile future. In simpler terms, does anyone have an idea when we will see an official release higher than 9.04? E.g. 9.10 in October? Nobody has an idea since the community has not discussed this already. I know this would involve a lot of work in screening open Jira issues, collating them into functional releases and coordination the dev community to deliver into a previously planned release cycle. Do you guys think the project is ready for that? (and let me know whether & where I could possibly help). You certainly can help (and you already began IIRW), here is the official beginning : http://docs.ofbiz.org/display/OFBADMIN/OFBiz+Contributors+Best+Practices Thanks Jacques Thanks & regards Carsten

Re: ofbiz latest stable version
Anil, I would definitely go with Ashish's suggestion here. Releasing a stable version doesn't means that trunk is not stable. Even the trunk is always stable except a few incidences. Working on trunk gives you opportunity to leverage most recent updates. For instance, you have requirements of Human Resource component and after release 9.04 there have been many improvements in this component, which you can facilitate by working on latest trunk. Keeping an eye on commits and dev mailing list can help you decide when to take updates, without breaking your custom code. --- Thanks & Regards Mridul Pathak Hotwax Media http://www.hotwaxmedia.com mridul.pat...@hotwaxmedia.com - direct: +91 - 942.592.6892 On Wed, Sep 16, 2009 at 4:04 PM, Ashish Vijaywargiya < vijaywargiya.ash...@gmail.com> wrote: > Release-9.04 is more stable and feature reach then Release-4.0. > Although if you are a developer and you understand how things are coming in > OFBiz then I would prefer you to go with trunk. > > Just start your development keeping your custom component in hot-deploy > directory on trunk and take update daily or weekly which ever option is > more > appropriate for you. > > -- > Ashish > > On Wed, Sep 16, 2009 at 3:59 PM, Anil Sharma wrote: > > > > > Hello Mridul, > > > > Thanks for prompt reply.

Re: ofbiz latest stable version
Release-9.04 is more stable and feature reach then Release-4.0. Although if you are a developer and you understand how things are coming in OFBiz then I would prefer you to go with trunk. Just start your development keeping your custom component in hot-deploy directory on trunk and take update daily or weekly which ever option is more appropriate for you. -- Ashish On Wed, Sep 16, 2009 at 3:59 PM, Anil Sharma wrote: > > Hello Mridul, > > Thanks for prompt reply.

Re: ofbiz latest stable version
Hello Mridul, Thanks for prompt reply. Actually I have some requirements which matches with that in ofbiz9.04 like Human Resource, Order Management and Product Management and warehouse etc. So now I need to make a decision to go with ofbiz9.04 or ofbiz4.0. Can you please suggest me any one in terms of features and Stability of code. Thanks, Anil Sharma.

Re: ofbiz latest stable version
Hi Anil, The latest OFBiz release is 9.04. Release 9.04 has more features then that of 4.0, you can find the differences at http://docs.ofbiz.org/display/OFBIZ/Main+New+Features. No new development occurs in the stable releases, just bug fixes, thats why they are called stable releases. Many people use release 4.0 and thats the reason it is still eligible for bug fixes. All the development is done in trunk. -- Thanks & Regards Mridul Pathak Hotwax Media http://www.hotwaxmedia.com mridul.pat...@hotwaxmedia.com On Wed, Sep 16, 2009 at 2:33 PM, Anil Sharma wrote: > > Hello Guys, > > Can any one please tell me what is the current stable ofbiz release. what > us > the difference between ofbiz-release9.04 and ofbiz-release4.0. why is both > ofbiz9.04 and ofbiz4.0 being developed parallely > > > Thanks, > Anil Sharma > -- > View this message in context: > http://www.nabble.com/ofbiz-latest-stable-version-tp25468563p25468563.html > Sent from the OFBiz - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. > >
