I'm trying to understand how is it going to work on future but I can not yet. Is there any place, slides or documentation about it? Some of my concerns and doubts would be: - new functionality will be included on stable version each month? - there could be db changes on existing modules to make it compatible with that new functionality? - if yes.. Would be necesary migrating production data of our customers each month even if we could do it with enterprise contract? - how would be avoided regressions? - how does this work with localizations and fiscal changes on each country? - how does this work with not saas customers having custom modules? Is there any recomendation or methodology for this kind of projects?
