Hi all, Not releasing 14 wouldn't make sense to me. Skipping releases never looks good, as it either means that there hasn't been enough contributions or that there are no proper release strategies in place. Neither make the community or the or the product look good to outsiders. I can

Hi Pierre, This is not orthodox, but after being surprised by the idea of not releasing R14, I think it make as much sense as not releasing R13. We could then focus entirely on R15 and I'd even ask if we could not backport the files moves, now only in trunk, to R15. So we could then easily

Thanks for this, Mr. Foga. The Downloads page of the ofbiz.apache.org site mentions 14.x and 15.x only as part of the project's tentative release schedule. Would end user newcomers be wise to wait out the transition? On 16-06-28 09:55 AM, Sharan Foga wrote: Thanks Jacopo for the details

Thanks Jacopo for the thorough explanation. I totally agree, R13.07 was born dead anyway and it will be less work to backport. I think though that we should release R14.12 ASAP in replacement of R13.07. It's already waiting for 1.5 year... +1 for the idea! Jacques Le 28/06/2016 à 13:07,
