Hello, everyone ... One week has passed from the original touted release (or availability date). I have not heard or seen of any new date. Someone inside of Odoo said it would happen within this month. Does anyone have a more accurate estimated date of general availability of V8? Maybe we are going from the San Fermin date (7/7) to the Chinese lucky day: 8/8? Thank you in advance Lp
