This is the vote thread to approve the first release for the 13.07 branch. This new release, "Apache OFBiz 13.07.01" (major release number: "13.07"; minor release number: "01") is the first release of the 13.07 series and contains all the features of the trunk up to July 2013, stabilized with bug fixes (some enhancements and refactoring) since then. It will become the OFBiz current "stable" release and users of the 12.04 series will be encouraged to migrate to this release.
This is the first release series that doesn't contain the specialpurpose components (except for the "ecommerce" component); the community may decide to release separately the specialpurpose components (all bundled together or each in its package). The candidate release files can be downloaded from here: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/ofbiz/ (committers only) or from here: http://people.apache.org/~jacopoc/dist/ (everyone else) and are: * apache-ofbiz-13.07.01.zip: the release package * KEYS: text file with keys * apache-ofbiz-13.07.01.zip.asc: the detached signature file * apache-ofbiz-13.07.01.zip.md5, apache-ofbiz-13.07.01.zip.sha: hashes Please download the zip file and check its signatures (for instructions on testing the signatures see http://www.apache.org/info/verification.html), then test the release. Vote: [ +1] release as Apache OFBiz 13.07.01 [ -1] do not release This vote will be closed in 5 days. For more details about this process please read http://www.apache.org/foundation/voting.html The following text is quoted from the above url: "Votes on whether a package is ready to be released use majority approval -- i.e. at least three PMC members must vote affirmatively for release, and there must be more positive than negative votes. Releases may not be vetoed. Generally the community will cancel the release vote if anyone identifies serious problems, but in most cases the ultimate decision, lies with the individual serving as release manager." Kind Regards, Jacopo
