Hi James: OpenSRF 1.4.1 is still available for download from http://evergreen-ils.org/downloads/OpenSRF-1.4.1.tar.gz but, given that OpenSRF 1.6.x is the version recommended for use with Evergreen 1.6.x and the upcoming Evergreen 2.0 releases, I updated the downloads page accordingly. (Volunteers to update the code_museum.php at http://svn.open-ils.org/trac/ILS-Contrib/browser/evergreen-ils.org welcome!) Given the lack of formal testing of interoperability between various combinations of Evergreen and OpenSRF versions, and the relatively limited resources we have to test and maintain concurrent releases of OpenSRF, I suggest the safest path would be to upgrade to OpenSRF 1.6.x - that way, any bugs that you do run into will be in common with the recommended combination of versions. As for any bugs that might be outstanding in 1.4.x that haven't been backported from 1.6.x, changesets 2103 and 2215 address some corner cases; I would hesitate before calling those "serious" though. Since upgrading our own Evergreen 1.6.1.x instance from using OpenSRF 1.2.x to OpenSRF 1.6.x, I haven't noticed a significant difference. Dan
